This assistive robot is controlled via brain-computer interface
Researchers at the University of Cassino and Southern Lazio, in Italy, have recently developed a cutting-edge architecture that enables the operation of an assistive robot via a P300-based brain computer interface (BCI). This architecture, presented in a paper...
An end-to-end imitation learning system for speed control of autonomous vehicles
Researchers at Valeo, a tech company specialized in automotive innovation, have recently developed an end-to-end imitation learning system for car speed control. Their approach, outlined in a paper pre-published on arXiv, uses a neural network with long short-term...
A method to introduce emotion recognition in gaming
Virtual Reality (VR) is opening up exciting new frontiers in the development of video games, paving the way for increasingly realistic, interactive and immersive gaming experiences. VR consoles, in fact, allow gamers to feel like they are almost inside the game,...
A method to reduce the number of neurons in recurrent neural networks
A team of researchers at Queen's University, in Canada, have recently proposed a new method to downsize random recurrent neural networks (rRNN), a class of artificial neural networks that is often used to make predictions from data. Their approach, presented in a...
A model for posture adaptation of legged robots while navigating confined spaces
Multi-legged robots are capable of navigating a variety of complex and unstructured terrains. Their many degrees of freedom allow them to adapt their walking posture to navigate several challenging environments, including confined spaces.
A model to classify cyberattacks using swarm intelligence
In recent years, new technological advances have led to a growing number of devices, ranging from more conventional computers to other gadgets and smart home appliances, communicating and sharing data with one another. Despite its advantages, this growing...
A model to determine the impact of DDoS attacks using Twitter data
Distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks, which are designed to prevent legitimate users from accessing specific network systems, have become increasingly common over the past decade or so. These attacks make services such as Facebook, Reddit and online banking...
A model to predict the size and shape of online comment threads
On social media platforms such as Reddit and Twitter people can express their opinions and take part in discussions about a variety of topics. This is generally done in comment threads, which allow users to comment on existing posts.
A multi-camera optical tactile sensor that could enable vision-based robotic skins
A team of researchers at ETH Zurich in Switzerland has recently developed a multi-camera optical tactile sensor (i.e., a tactile sensor based on optical devices) that collects information about the contact force distribution applied to its surface. This sensor,...
