Spider conversations deciphered using machine learning and contact microphones
Arachnids are natural dancers. After millions of years of evolution, many species rely on fancy footwork to communicate everything from courtship rituals to territory fights to hunting strategies. Researchers typically observe these movements in the laboratory using so-called laser vibrometers. After the tool's light beam is directed at the target, the vibrometer measures the tiny vibration frequency and amplitude caused by the Doppler shift effect. Unfortunately, the cost and sensitivity of such systems often limit their use in the field.
Engineers have developed a program that allows people to control video games using their minds
This innovation is part of research into brain-computer interfaces to improve the lives of people with movement disorders. Researchers have integrated machine learning capabilities into a brain-computer interface, making it an all-purpose solution. These devices typically require extensive adjustment for each user, and the brains of both healthy and disabled users are different, which has been a major barrier to widespread adoption. This new solution can quickly understand individual subject needs and automatically adjust through iteration. This means multiple patients can use the device without individual customization. "If you think about it in a clinical setting, this technology eliminates the need for a specialized team to perform this time-consuming and labor-intensive calibration process," said Satyam Kumar, PhD student in Jose's lab. says. Del R. Millan is a professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the Cockrell School of Engineering and the Department of Neurology at the Dell School of Medicine at the University of Texas at Austin. "Transition from patient to patient is much faster."
Microsoft and Quantum claim advances in quantum computing
The move comes as technology companies including Microsoft, Alphabet Inc.'s Google (GOOGL.O), and IBM (IBM.N) hope to compete with both rivals. It is the latest in the race to perfect quantum computing. It leverages quantum mechanics to develop machines that promise much faster speeds than traditional silicon-based computers. These quantum machines can perform scientific calculations that would take millions of years to perform using today's classical computers.
Analysts say Taiwan earthquake hits some chip production, disrupting Asia's supply chain
After some chip makers from TSMC to UMC suspended operations for inspections, analysts said. , the Taiwan earthquake, the largest since 1999, is likely to disrupt the entire Asian semiconductor supply chain. Prepare equipment and relocate employees.
NASA's snake robot is designed to search for life in the icy oceans of Saturn's moons.
The "snake robot" form factor has been around for decades. In addition to bringing diversity to the world of automation, this design has several practical features. The first is redundancy, which allows the system to continue operating even after a module is damaged.
