AI Agents Are Coming for Mundane—but Valuable—Office Tasks

For all the bluster about generative artificial intelligence upending the world, the technology has yet to meaningfully transform white-collar work. Workers are dabbling with chatbots for tasks such as drafting emails, and companies are launching countless experiments, but office work hasn’t undergone a major AI reboot.Perhaps that’s only because we haven’t given chatbots like Google’s Gemini and OpenAI’s ChatGPT the right tools for the job yet; they’re generally restricted to taking in and spitting out text via a chat interface. Things might get more interesting in business settings as AI companies start deploying so-called “AI agents,” which can take action…

AI can now detect COVID-19 in lung ultrasound images

stp2y0 CommentsGenAIToday

Artificial intelligence can spot COVID-19 in lung ultrasound images much like facial recognition software can spot a face in a crowd, new research shows. The findings boost AI-driven medical diagnostics and bring health care professionals closer to being able to quickly diagnose patients with COVID-19 and other pulmonary diseases with algorithms that comb through ultrasound images to identify signs of disease. The findings, newly published in Communications Medicine, culminate an effort that started early in the pandemic when clinicians needed tools to rapidly assess legions of patients in overwhelmed emergency rooms. "We developed this automated detection tool to help doctors…

Engineering household robots to have a little common sense

stp2y0 CommentsGenAIRobotics Research; Engineering; Engineering and Construction; Vehicles; Robotics; Artificial Intelligence; Computer Modeling; Hacking

From wiping up spills to serving up food, robots are being taught to carry out increasingly complicated household tasks. Many such home-bot trainees are learning through imitation; they are programmed to copy the motions that a human physically guides them through. It turns out that robots are excellent mimics. But unless engineers also program them to adjust to every possible bump and nudge, robots don't necessarily know how to handle these situations, short of starting their task from the top. Now MIT engineers are aiming to give robots a bit of common sense when faced with situations that push them…

New software enables blind and low-vision users to create interactive, accessible charts

stp2y0 CommentsGenAIPerception; Relationships; Numeracy; Educational Psychology; Information Technology; Hacking; Computers and Internet; Encryption

A growing number of tools enable users to make online data representations, like charts, that are accessible for people who are blind or have low vision. However, most tools require an existing visual chart that can then be converted into an accessible format. This creates barriers that prevent blind and low-vision users from building their own custom data representations, and it can limit their ability to explore and analyze important information. A team of researchers from MIT and University College London (UCL) wants to change the way people think about accessible data representations. They created a software system called Umwelt…

Robot, can you say ‘cheese’?

stp2y0 CommentsGenAIRobotics Research; Engineering; Engineering and Construction; Vehicles; Robotics; Artificial Intelligence; Neural Interfaces; Computer Modeling

What would you do if you walked up to a robot with a human-like head and it smiled at you first? You'd likely smile back and perhaps feel the two of you were genuinely interacting. But how does a robot know how to do this? Or a better question, how does it know to get you to smile back? Source link lol

Revolutionary biomimetic olfactory chips to enable advanced gas sensing and odor detection

stp2y0 CommentsGenAIDetectors; Microarrays; Engineering; Civil Engineering; Artificial Intelligence; Mobile Computing; Computer Science; Robotics

A research team led by the School of Engineering of the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) has addressed the long-standing challenge of creating artificial olfactory sensors with arrays of diverse high-performance gas sensors. Their newly developed biomimetic olfactory chips (BOC) are able to integrate nanotube sensor arrays on nanoporous substrates with up to 10,000 individually addressable gas sensors per chip, a configuration that is similar to how olfaction works for humans and other animals. For decades, researchers worldwide have been developing artificial olfaction and electronic noses (e-noses) with the aim of emulating the intricate mechanism of the…

New privacy-preserving robotic cameras obscure images beyond human recognition

stp2y0 CommentsGenAIPhotography; Robotics; Artificial Intelligence; Internet; Privacy Issues; Surveillance; STEM Education; Urbanization

From robotic vacuum cleaners and smart fridges to baby monitors and delivery drones, the smart devices being increasingly welcomed into our homes and workplaces use vision to take in their surroundings, taking videos and images of our lives in the process. In a bid to restore privacy, researchers at the Australian Centre for Robotics at the University of Sydney and the Centre for Robotics (QCR) at Queensland University of Technology have created a new approach to designing cameras that process and scramble visual information before it is digitised so that it becomes obscured to the point of anonymity. Known as…

Engineers design soft and flexible ‘skeletons’ for muscle-powered robots

stp2y0 CommentsGenAIEngineering and Construction; Construction; Sports Science; Medical Technology; Neural Interfaces; Artificial Intelligence; Robotics; Computer Science

Our muscles are nature's perfect actuators -- devices that turn energy into motion. For their size, muscle fibers are more powerful and precise than most synthetic actuators. They can even heal from damage and grow stronger with exercise. For these reasons, engineers are exploring ways to power robots with natural muscles. They've demonstrated a handful of "biohybrid" robots that use muscle-based actuators to power artificial skeletons that walk, swim, pump, and grip. But for every bot, there's a very different build, and no general blueprint for how to get the most out of muscles for any given robot design. Now,…
