One key objective of electronics engineering research is to develop computing devices that are both highly performing and energy-efficient, meaning that they can compute information quickly while consuming little power. One possible way to do this could be to combine...
Researchers at Worcester Polytechnic Institute recently created OmniWheg, a robotic system that can adapt its configuration while navigating its surrounding environment, seamlessly changing from a wheeled to a legged robot. This robot, introduced in an IEEE IROS 2022...
In recent years, many smartphone users have become concerned about the privacy of their data and the extent to which companies might have access to this data. As things stand today, the applications that users can run on their phone and what they can do with these...
Chemists and engineers have been trying to create increasingly efficient, affordable and stable battery technologies to power a wide range of electronic devices. To do this, they have been leveraging the multi-redox reactions of materials that are highly abundant on...
To meet the growing global demand for electronics that can operate for long periods of time, engineers will need to develop highly performing and stable batteries with increasingly longer lifetimes. To reliably continue improving battery technologies, one should...
Over the past few decades, engineers and material scientists have created increasingly advanced and efficient solar technologies. Some of these technologies are based on photovoltaics with a so-called heterojunction structure, which entails the integration of two...
Organic solar cells are photovoltaic technologies with light-absorbing layers made of conductive organic polymers or organic molecules. These solar energy solutions can have notable advantages over their non-organic counterparts, including lighter weight, a larger...
In recent years, deep learning techniques have achieved remarkable results in numerous language and image-processing tasks. This includes visual speech recognition (VSR), which entails identifying the content of speech solely by analyzing a speaker's lip movements.
In recent years, deep learning techniques have proved to be highly valuable for tackling countless research and real-world problems. Researchers at Feedzai, a financial data science company based in Portugal, have demonstrated the potential of deep learning for the...
Researchers at the Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute (ETRI) in Korea have recently developed a deep learning-based model that could help to produce engaging nonverbal social behaviors, such as hugging or shaking someone's hand, in robots. Their...
