[tpsully]’s Radar Glasses are designed as a way of sensing the world without the benefits of normal vision. They consist of a distance sensor on the front and a vibration …read more Continue reading ‘Radar’ Glasses Grant Vision-free Distance Sensing
Despite the fact that it constantly seems like we’re in the midst of a robotics- and artificial intelligence-driven revolution, there are a number of tasks that continue to elude even …read more Continue reading FedEx Robot Solves Complex Packing Problems
When we think about machine learning, our minds often jump to datacenters full of sweating, overheating GPUs. However, lighter-weight hardware can also be used to these ends, as demonstrated by …read more Continue reading Machine Learning Robot Runs Arduino Uno
Even though it may seem like we have already explored every single square centimeter of the Earth, there are still many areas that are practically unmapped. These areas include the …read more Continue reading Exploring Tropical Rainforest Stratification Using Space-Based LiDAR
Self-driving cars often use LiDAR — think of it as radar using light beams. One limitation of existing systems is they need some method of scanning the light source around, …read more Continue reading No Moving Parts LiDAR
Researchers have created a device that uses photonic radar to remotely and accurately monitor breathing, even distinguishing between more than one patient. They say their device might one day be used in hospitals, aged care facilities and at home to pr… Continue reading Photonic radar can remotely monitor breathing without privacy concerns
Taking 3D images underwater is tricky due to inconsistent lighting conditions and particles in the water that scatter light and cause distortion. Researchers have created a novel prototype system that uses quantum technology and LiDAR to overcome these… Continue reading Quantum tech hurdles problems of taking real-time 3D images underwater
A research team from the UK’s Nottingham Trent University, the Australian National University and the University of New South Wales Canberra has developed a proof-of-concept display technology that could replace the LCD panels common to many of today’s… Continue reading Meta-display concept could retire LCD panels in big-screen TVs
What do you do when you have a lot of LiDAR data and not enough budget to slog through it? That’s the problem the Heritage Quest project was faced with …read more Continue reading Citizen Science Finds Prehistoric Burial Mounds
Remember that “PhoneDrone” scam from a while back? With two tiny motors and props that could barely lift a microdrone, it was pretty clearly a fake, but that doesn’t mean …read more Continue reading Bicopter Phone Case Might Be Hard to Pocket, but Delivers Autonomous Selfies
