New designs for jumping and wing-flapping microrobots
Researchers at the University of California (UC) Berkeley have recently designed two insect-scale microbots, one that jumps and another that flaps its artificial wings. These robot designs, presented in two papers pre-published on arXiv, mimic real biological...
New exploitation techniques and defenses for DOP attacks
Data-oriented attacks allow hackers to manipulate non-control data and alter a program's behavior, often causing significant damage to the systems affected. Researchers at Virginia Tech, Clemson University, Pennsylvania State University and Aalto University have...
New models for handwriting recognition in online Latin and Arabic scripts
Researchers at the University of Sfax, in Tunisia, have recently developed a new method to recognize handwritten characters and symbols in online scripts. Their technique, presented in a paper pre-published on arXiv, has already achieved remarkable performance on...
Distilled 3-D (D3D) networks for video action recognition
A team of researchers at Google, the University of Michigan and Princeton University have recently developed a new method for video action recognition. Video action recognition entails identifying particular actions performed in video footage, such as opening a door,...
Identifying perceived emotions from people’s walking style
A team of researchers at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and the University of Maryland at College Park has recently developed a new deep learning model that can identify people's emotions based on their walking styles. Their approach, outlined in a...
EmoSense: an AI-powered and wireless emotion sensing system
Researchers at Hefei University of Technology in China and various universities in Japan have recently developed a unique emotion sensing system that can recognize people's emotions based on their body gestures. They presented this new AI- powered system, called...
Implementing kick control on simulated and real-world wheeled robots
A team of researchers at Babes-Bolyai University, in Romania, and Goethe University Frankfurt have recently collaborated on a study exploring implementations of kick control on both simulated and real-world wheeled robots. The term 'kick control' refers to short,...
Enhancing the vertical mobility of six-legged robot RHex using microspines
A team of researchers at Carnegie Mellon University has recently proposed a method to improve the vertical mobility of a renowned hexapod robot. Their approach, presented in a paper pre-published on arXiv, entails the addition of microspines to RHex, an existing...
Inflatable space robots with integrated dielectric elastomer transducers (DETs)
Researchers at the Auckland Bioengineering Institute and Technische Universität Dresden have recently designed a new type of inflatable robot for space navigation. These robots, presented in a paper published in SPIE Digital Library, were created using dielectric...
