A former OpenAI researcher has secured USD 40 million in funding to launch a startup (WaveForms AI) that aims to develop AI models that can create emotionally engaging connections with humans by utilizing vocal capabilities.
South Korean researchers from Seoul National University of Science and Technology have developed a transport drone, dubbed "Palletrone," featuring multiple flexible rotors that self-correct to maintain level flight. This drone acts as a "flying shopping cart," capable of carrying goods over uneven terrain, such as stairs.
Germany is positioning itself as a leader in autonomous vehicle (AV) innovation with its new ‘Strategy for Automated and Connected Driving,’ spearheaded by the Federal Ministry for Digital and Transport Affairs (BMDV).
A cornerstone of this initiative is the deployment of Cooperative Intelligent Transport Systems (C-ITS), which enables seamless vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) communication.
Kapsch TrafficCom AG, a key industry player, is supporting the strategy with advanced technology, which is currently operational on German freeways and provides real-time traffic management and direct vehicle communication. The strategy outlines the fundamentals, potential, objectives, action areas, and implementation of autonomous public transport in a comprehensive handbook, guiding stakeholders through all phases.
Germany aims to bolster public transport efficiency, enhance traffic flow, and strengthen international collaboration to achieve harmonized, autonomous driving standards. Although this development trails the U.S. and China in terms of operational driverless systems, Germany’s autonomous vehicular projects—MOIA and KIRA—mark critical steps in achieving its vision for a future governed by interconnected and innovative transportation.
Researchers from the University of Pennsylvania School of Engineering and Applied Science (Penn Engineering) have introduced PanoRadar, an advanced perception system that equips robots with the ability to see through harsh conditions such as smoke-filled buildings and foggy roads.
Research by Osaka University has revealed critical insights into the challenges of smartphone-based augmented reality (AR) in indoor environments.
Every year, around 80 tons of space debris re-enters Earth’s atmosphere. While most of this debris harmlessly disintegrates, the breakdown process can release chemicals that deplete ozone layers and contribute to atmospheric pollution.
This holiday season, the retail industry is preparing for an increase in cyberattacks beyond the typical surge.
As per the latest reports, worldwide smartphone shipments grew 5% in Q3 compared to the same period in 2023. The increase marks the fourth consecutive quarter of growth.
