Researcher explains why we should care more about converging technologies
Credit: Pixabay/CC0 Public Domain Professor Dirk Helbing of ETH Zurich and Austria’s Complexity Science Hub expects future digital technologies to penetrate the human body even more in the future. However, he believes that society is not prepared for the risks involved. In a new article, he puts forward a new legal framework to protect our […]
Refined AI approach improves noninvasive brain-computer interface performance
Achieving a noteworthy milestone to advance noninvasive brain-controlled interfaces, researchers used AI technology to improve the decoding of human intention and control a continuously moving virtual object all by thinking about it, with unmatched performance. Credit: Carnegie Mellon University Pursuing a viable alternative to invasive brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) has been a continued research focus of […]
Tractor-trailers with no one aboard? The future is near for self-driving trucks on US roads
A self-driving tractor trailer maneuvers around a test track in Pittsburgh, Thursday, March 14, 2024. The truck is owned by Pittsburgh-based Aurora Innovation Inc. Late this year, Aurora plans to start hauling freight on Interstate 45 between the Dallas and Houston areas with 20 driverless trucks. Credit: AP Photo/Gene J. Puskar On a three-lane test […]
Machine learning and extended reality used to train welders
The researchers modified the welding helmet by fixing it to the Meta Quest Pro XR headset and interfaced the Seeed ESP32S3 board to a Unity software program running the XR display, using the Quest Pro’s USB-C port and the Serial Port Utility Pro plugin. The adjustable Quest head strap and connected battery replace the traditional […]
