Researchers from the School of Interactive Computing and the Institute for Robotics and Intelligent Machines developed a new method that teaches computers to “see” and understand what humans... Read more
Human learning is a complex, sometimes mysterious process. Most of us have had experiences where we have struggled to learn something new, but also times when we’ve picked something up... Read more
University of Utah computer scientists have developed software that not only detects and eradicates never-before-seen viruses and other malware, but also automatically repairs damage caused... Read more
Researchers have created a tool to monitor the accessibility of Web pages around the world that can be installed by adding a single line of code to a web page. The tool, Encore, runs when a... Read more
Sometimes it takes a village to teach a robot. University of Washington computer scientists have shown that crowdsourcing can be a quick and effective way to teach a robot how to complete ta... Read more
The proposed Microsoft computer is mind-bending even by the standards of the mostly hypothetical world of quantum computing. Modern computers are not unlike the looms of the industrial revol... Read more
The tool leverages this technology to detect security-specific properties within a hardware system. For example, the tool can make sure that a cryptographic key does not leak outside a chip’... Read more
“The new program needs no human supervision, and thus can automatically learn the visual knowledge for any concept,” In today’s digitally driven world, access to information appears li... Read more

A tabletop display with personal screens made from a curtain of mist that allow users to move images around and push through the fog-screens and onto the display, will be unveiled at an inte... Read more
Researchers in Washington State University’s School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science have developed a method to allow a computer to give advice and teach skills to another comp... Read more
A new robotic fish can change direction almost as rapidly as a real fish. Soft robots — which don’t just have soft exteriors but are also powered by fluid flowing through flexible channels —... Read more
SELF-ORGANIZING ROBOTS INSPIRED BY TERMITE COLONIES DEMONSTRATE SWARM-LIKE INTELLIGENCE On the plains of Namibia, millions of tiny termites are building a mound of soil—an 8-foot-tall “lung”... Read more
A new system combines simple control programs to enable fleets of robots — or other “multiagent systems” — to collaborate in unprecedented ways. Writing a program to control a single autonom... Read more
Can generate speeds as fast as 3.25 gigabytes per second (Gbps) Shanghai’s Fudan University has made a breakthrough with the development of “Li-Fi” technology, in which a o... Read more
