Brains on board: Smart microrobots walk autonomously

A collaborative effort has installed electronic “brains” on solar-powered robots that are 100 to 250 micrometers in size – smaller than an ant’s head – so that they can walk autonomously without being externally controlled.

While Cornell researchers and others have previously developed microscopic machines that can crawl, swim, walk and fold themselves up, there were always “strings” attached; to generate motion, wires were used to provide electrical current or laser beams had to be focused directly onto specific locations on the robots.

The first casualties of AI

Artificial intelligence has started to make a real impact on the world by replacing human jobs and making some business models obsolete. We take a look at this week’s biggest AI news and identify the biggest losers in the AI race.

The Role of Chat-GPT in Improving Mental Health Care and Therapy

Given the rise of chat gpt and its volumes of knowledge bases there is a new chat bot that is aiding mental health care and therapy 😀


When it comes to mental health, the main focus is on the patient and how to provide the best care possible. But with the rising demand for mental health services, it’s increasingly difficult for clinicians to address the individual needs of their patients and meet the growing demand for mental health services. This is where ChAT-GPT, or Conversational Artificial intelligence-based Therapy for Generalized Psychological Treatment, comes in.

Chat-GPT is an AI-based therapy that uses natural language processing (NLP) and conversational AI to help therapists provide more personalized and effective mental health care and therapy. This new technology allows mental health professionals to provide real-time and personalized care to their patients in a way that is tailored to their needs and preferences. In this article, we will discuss the key features of Chat-GPT and how it is helping improve mental health care and therapy.

Chat-GPT is a type of AI-based therapy developed by researchers at Albert Einstein College of Medicine. It is a conversational AI-based therapy designed to help clinicians diagnose mental health issues. Chat-GPT uses natural language processing (NLP) to understand the patient’s conversations and provide personalized care and therapy.

AI-powered crater detection algorithm to unlock the secrets of the universe

Researchers from the University of Aberdeen develop an AI algorithm to detect planetary craters with high accuracy, efficiency, and flexibility.

A team of scientists from the University of Aberdeen has developed a new algorithm that could revolutionize planetary studies. The new technology enables scientists to detect planetary craters and accurately map their surfaces using different data types, according to a release.

The team used a new universal crater detection algorithm (CDA) developed using the Segment Anything Model (SAM), an artificial intelligence (AI) model that can automatically identify and cut out any object in any image.

World’s first bladder transplant will be performed by both human and robot surgeons

For the first time in human history, doctors will transplant a human bladder from a deceased person to an alive patient using surgery robots.

A team of urologists at Keck Medicine of the University of South California (USC) is conducting a clinical trial that will soon lead to the first-ever bladder transplant operation in humans. The doctors are currently in the process of selecting participants for their trials.

If successful, such operations would provide relief to millions of people around the globe who live with bladder-related disorders.

Amnesty uses AI-generated images to portray Colombian protests, draws criticism

The Colombian protests began on April 28, 2021, sparked by a tax reform opposed by the working class and middle-class Colombians.

Amnesty International’s use of AI generated images to commemorate the second anniversary of Colombian protests has sparked a debate over the credibility of advocacy groups and media organizations in their coverage of war-inflicted zones.

Amnesty’s Norway regional account posted three images in a series of tweets. The first depicted a crowd of armor-clad police officers; the second featured a police officer with a red splotch on his face, and the third of a protester being dragged away by police officials.

Neural networks on photonic chips: Harnessing light for ultra-fast and low-power artificial intelligence

Neural networks are distributed computing structures inspired by the structure of a biological brain and aim to achieve cognitive performance comparable to that of humans but in a much shorter time.

These technologies now form the basis of machine learning and that can perceive the environment and adapt their own behavior by analyzing the effects of previous actions and working autonomously. They are used in many areas of application, such as speech and image recognition and synthesis, autonomous driving and augmented reality systems, bioinformatics, genetic and molecular sequencing, and high-performance computing technologies.

Compared to conventional computing approaches, in order to perform complex functions, neural networks need to be initially “trained” with a large amount of known information that the network then uses to adapt by learning from experience. Training is an extremely energy-intensive process and as computing power increases, the neural networks’ consumption grows very rapidly, doubling every six months or so.
