Cornell University researchers have developed a way of using low-cost, stereo cameras to allow self-driving cars to detect 3D objects with a range and accuracy approaching that of lidar.
NVIDIA’s Jetson Nano – Democratizing and Disrupting Edge Machine Learning
NVIDIA’s Jetson Nano and Jetson Nano Development Kit. Low cost, yet very powerful, AI optimized compute resources such as NVIDIA’s Jetson Nano brings machine learning to the masses, and also has the potential of replacing the dominant paradigm of centralized, machine learning training and inferencing architectures. Synopsis During his keynote session at the recent…
Helping computers perceive human emotions
Personalized machine-learning models capture subtle variations in facial expressions to better gauge how we feel. MIT Media Lab researchers have developed a machine-learning model that takes computers a step closer to interpreting our emotions as naturally as humans do. In the growing field of “affective computing,” robots and computers are being developed to analyze facial…
Personalized deep learning improves robots for autism therapy
Children with autism spectrum conditions often have trouble recognizing the emotional states of people around them – distinguishing a happy face from a fearful face, for instance. To remedy this, some therapists use kid-friendly robots for autism therapy to demonstrate those emotions and to engage the children in imitating the emotions and responding to them…
