Scientists at Brigham Young University (BYU) have developed an algorithm that can accurately identify objects in images or videos and can learn to recognize new objects on its own. Although other ...

John Leonard's group in the MIT Department of Mechanical Engineering specializes in SLAM, or simultaneous localization and mapping, the technique whereby mobile autonomous robots map their ...

It’s only a matter of time before things go the way of Skynet, and this new algorithm is a stepping stone along the way: it can learn to identify objects all by itself, with zero human help. Gulp.

Objects in space tend to spin—and spin in a way that's totally different from the way they spin on earth. Understanding how objects are spinning, where their centers of mass are, and how their mass is ...

If we’ve learned anything from post-apocalyptic movies it’s that computers eventually become self-aware and try to eliminate humans. BYU engineer Dah-Jye Lee isn’t interested in that development, but ...

BYU engineer Dah-Jye Lee has created an object recognition algorithm that can accurately identify objects in images or video sequences all by itself, without any human help. According to Lee, the ...

Swiss engineering grad Romain Testuz recently developed software that can transform any 3D object into a structurally sound Lego brick object. It solves an old challenge using graph theory, which ...
