[ad_1] The team demonstrated its system by tasking a two-fingered robot, RiceGrip, with reshaping deformable foam into a desired shape, much like you might shape sushi. It used a depth camera and object recognition to identify the foam, and then used the model to envision the foam as a dynamic graph for deformable materials. While […]

AI generates non-stop stream of death metal
[ad_1] The result isn’t entirely natural, if simply because it’s not limited by the constraints of the human body. There are no real pauses. However, it certainly sounds the part — you’ll find plenty of hyper-fast drums, guitar thrashing and guttural growling. In a chat with Motherboard, Carr noted that death metal’s rapid-fire pace is […]
Syringe ‘watch’ puts a life-saving allergy shot on your wrist
[ad_1] The team is keenly aware of safety concerns. The three-piece folding design makes it effectively impossible to trigger the needle by accident, and there are plans for a case that would prevent the button from touching anything until the shot is necessary. EpiWear is still very young, to the point where it’s made of […]
Amazon’s ‘The Boys’ has Karl Urban fighting superheroes gone bad
[ad_1] The eight-episode season premieres on July 26th. It’s too soon to say if this superhero takedown will succeed, but the ingredients are there for a possible hit. The series also features stars like Simon Pegg and Elisabeth Shue, and it’s created by Supernatural‘s Eric Kripke with the help of producers Seth Rogen and Evan […]
DC Universe scales back ‘Swamp Thing’ over ‘creative differences’
[ad_1] This doesn’t preclude a second season, but it’s not great news at a time when DCU only has a handful of shows in development and still relies heavily on its back catalog of videos and comic books to attract subscribers. The more there is to watch, the less likely it is that members might […]
AI developed a whole new sport
[ad_1] AKQA created the game by feeding data on 400 existing sports to a neural network, which then created basic sports concepts and rules. A large chunk of those were completely unrealistic (exploding Frisbees, anyone?), so the team gradually whittled down the eligible characteristics until there were three remaining sports. Playtesting led to Speedgate winning […]
SpaceIL plans second private Moon lander despite crash
[ad_1] SpaceIL's first attempt at a private Moon landing didn't go according to plan. However, that isn't deterring the team from giving it another shot. Founder Morris Khan has announced that the team will build another Beresheet lander and "complete the… [ad_2] Source link
Respawn's 'Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order' arrives November 15th
[ad_1] Respawn has pulled back the curtains on Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order after months of teases. The single-player game is now due to launch on November 15th and follows Cal Kestis, a Padawan trying to survive Emperor Palpatine's command to execute the J… [ad_2] Source link
Recycling robot can sort paper and plastic by touch
[ad_1] The hands themselves are made out of custom auxetics (materials that get wider when stretched) that twist when cut. Each finger in the robot’s hand includes “left-handed” and “right-handed” auxetics that counter each other’s rotation, allowing for more dynamic movement than a typical robot hand without having to resort to the air pumps and […]
A perfect camera, except for its autofocus system
[ad_1] I wish it was smaller because I often need to lug gear around trade shows and on the streets. But the size has some advantages, and when you see the technology Panasonic packed in there, the extra pound or so is worth it. It has a weather-sealed body that feels very rugged and a […]
