Inspired by a theoretical model of particles moving around on a chessboard, new robot swarm research shows that, as magnetic interactions increase, dispersed 'dumb robots' can abruptly gather in large ...

Smartphones and wearables collect real-time data—like traffic flow, air quality, and crowd density—that fuel smart-city services. But when too many devices offload data at once, networks slow down and ...

(Nanowerk News) By exploiting a smart learning algorithm that fuses two microscopy signals, University of Michigan researchers have accomplished high-resolution, efficient 3D chemical imaging for the ...

I have gotten on a Tower Defense game kick, and thought it might be fun to write my own. Well, the level design, "tower" design, etc. would be fun but not the maze traversal algorithm (I don't enjoy ...

A new UOC-led project will analyze inhabitants' mobility to design more efficient and sustainable shared transport solutions The UPV, the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC) and Spindox Labs, a ...

Amsterdam’s struggles with its welfare fraud algorithm show us the stakes of deploying AI in situations that directly affect human lives. What Amsterdam’s welfare fraud algorithm taught me about fair ...

We are offloading more and more sophisticated knowledge work to smart technology. But the public won't be demanding the head of the algorithm when something goes awry. Rather it will be the company ...
