Revolutionary 3D-printed devices utilize advanced sensing technology

Posted by in categories: 3D printing, electronics

Up until now, it was still infamously difficult to include sensors in 3D designs.

Engineers might be able to create smart hinges that can detect when a door has been opened or gears inside motors that can communicate their rotational speed to a mechanic by integrating sensors into rotational systems.

Even while improvements in 3D printing allow for the quick manufacture of rotational devices, it is still infamously difficult to include sensors in the designs.

Ex-Uber employee designs new approach to evaluating AI capabilities

Posted by in category: robotics/AI

The Turing Test, developed in 1950 has become quite obsolete.

Chris Saad, the former head of product development at Uber, has designed a new framework to benchmark the intelligence of artificial intelligence (AI), which is currently undergoing a sea change. The framework, based on a theory that intelligence is not a monolithic construction, was recently shared on Tech Crunch.

AI has been the trending topic for the past few months after OpenAI made public their conversational chatbot, ChatGPT. Users have tested the chatbot in many different areas varying from writing poetry to code and even sales pitches, and the bot hasn’t disappointed.

How Our Native Language Shapes Our Brain Wiring

Posted by in category: neuroscience

Summary: Our native language may affect the way in which our brains are wired and underlie the way we think, a new study reports. Using neuroimaging to analyze neural connectivity in native German and native Arabic speakers, researchers found stronger connectivity between the right and left hemispheres in Arabic speakers, and stronger connectivity in the left hemisphere language area in German speakers.
