Can Technology Reveal Your Inner Emotions?

Posted by in category: robotics/AI

This post is also available in: he עברית (Hebrew)

New research may have vital applications in areas such as human-intelligence analytics. Traditionally, emotion detection has relied on the assessment of visible signals such as facial expressions, speech, body gestures or eye movements. However, these methods can be unreliable as they do not effectively capture an individual’s internal emotions. A novel artificial intelligence approach based on wireless signals could help to reveal our inner emotions.

The research from Queen Mary University of London demonstrates the use of radio waves to measure heart rate and breathing signals and predict how someone is feeling even in the absence of any other visual cues, such as facial expressions. It demonstrates how to apply a neural network to decipher emotions gathered with transmitting radio antenna.

Check Out What Happened When This Cunning Crow Got Hold Of A Credit Card

Posted by in category: transportation

I love it.


Why would a crow need a train ticket? To be honest, we’re not really sure but that didn’t stop one eager bird attempting to purchase a ride from a ticket machine at Tokyo’s Kinshichō Station.

Twitter user @kinoshi42155049 posted a video of the inquisitive crow having a nosey around the ticket machine before it hopped across to the adjacent machine, stole a woman’s credit card, and tried to slot it into the card reader. It didn’t quite succeed in its mission to buy the ticket but it came impressively close.

Revived photon entanglement could enhance quantum communication and imaging

Posted by in category: quantum physics

Generating, losing and reviving entanglement

In their experiment, the researchers generated entangled photons by sending light from a high-power “pump” laser into a nonlinear crystal. Under conditions where the photons’ energies and momenta are conserved, one pump photon will produce two entangled photons in a process called spontaneous parametric down conversion (SPDC). The two photons are entangled in all their properties. If a photon is detected at one location, for example, the position of the other entangled photon is automatically determined. The correlation exists for other quantities as well, such as momentum, angular position and orbital angular momentum.

As seen through the witness without any corrective measures, the researchers observed that position entanglement between photons disappears after about 4 cm of propagation. On the other hand, something interesting happens for angular-position entanglement. It disappears after about 5 cm of propagation, but after the photons have travelled another 20 cm, entanglement appears again (see figure). The researchers corroborated their experimental results qualitatively with a numerical model.

Not Science Fiction: A New Method To Move Objects Without Contact

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, chemistry, robotics/AI

A team of researchers at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities has uncovered a way to manipulate objects using ultrasound waves, paving the way for contactless movement in industries like manufacturing and robotics without the need for an internal power source.

The findings have been published in the peer-reviewed journal Nature Communications.

Conscious Robots: Scientists Fervently Trying To Create Them Now

Posted by in categories: ethics, law, robotics/AI

The biggest obstacle is that each robotics lab has its own idea of what a conscious robot looks like. There are also moral implications to building robots that have consciousness. Will they have rights, like in Bicentennial Man?

Considerations about conscious robots have been the domain of science fiction for decades. Isaac Asimov wrote several novels, including I, Robot, that examined the implications from the perspectives of law, society, and family, raising a lot of moral questions. Experts in ethical technology have considered and expanded upon these questions as scientists like those in the Columbia University lab work toward building more intelligent machines.

Science fiction has also brought us killer machines like in The Terminator, and conscious robots sound like a good way to have some. Humans might learn bad ideas and act upon them, and there is no reason to believe that robots will not fall into the same trap. Some of science’s greatest minds have warned against getting carried away with artificial intelligence.
