OpenMonkeyStudio: A deep-learning-based system to estimate 3-D poses of freely moving macaques
To gain a better understanding of human behavior and cognition, as well as their neural underpinnings, researchers often study other mammals with similar characteristics. One of the most common...
A virtual reality game that integrates tactile experiences using biometric feedback
Over the past few decades, technological advances have enabled the development of increasingly sophisticated, immersive and realistic video games. One of the most noteworthy among these advances is...
Pilot: A virtual agent that can negotiate with humans
Negotiations are a central part of many human interactions, ranging from business discussions and legal proceedings to conversations with vendors at local markets. Researchers specialized in...
Study examines spontaneous symmetry breaking in twisted double bilayer graphene
Over the past few years, a growing number of researchers worldwide has been conducting studies investigating the properties and features of so-called twisted van der Waals (vdW) materials. This...
A framework to increase the safety of robots operating in crowded environments
Humans are innately able to adapt their behavior and actions according to the movements of other humans in their surroundings. For instance, human drivers may suddenly stop, slow down, steer or...
The first demonstration of braiding in photonic topological zero modes
Physics theory suggests that exotic excitations can exist in the form of bound states confined in the proximity of topological defects, for instance, in the case of Majorana zero modes that are...
Study reveals that methods to infer the connectivity of neural circuits are affected by systematic errors
In recent years, a growing number of computer scientists have tried to develop computational methods inspired by the structure, function and plasticity of neural circuits in the human brain....
AIR-Act2Act: A dataset for training social robots to interact with the elderly
To interact with humans and assist them in their day-to-day life, robots should have both verbal and non-verbal communication capabilities. In other words, they should be able to understand both...
A home energy management system to achieve optimal control of heat pumps and photovoltaics
Over the past few decades, researchers worldwide have developed a growing amount of systems that can produce renewable energy, such as solar, wind or hydroelectric energy. While some companies and...
CLEANN: A framework to shield embedded neural networks from online Trojan attacks
With artificial intelligence (AI) tools and machine learning algorithms now making their way into a wide variety of settings, assessing their security and ensuring that they are protected against...
