The Metaverse Is Money and Crypto Is King—Why You’ll Be on a Blockchain When You’re Virtual-World Hopping

Posted by in categories: augmented reality, blockchains, business, economics

Major brands are also getting into the NFT mix, including Dolce & Gabbana, Coca-Cola, Adidas, and Nike. In the future, when you buy a physical world item from a company, you might also gain ownership of a linked NFT in the metaverse.

For example, when you buy that coveted name-brand outfit to wear to the real-world dance club, you might also become the owner of the crypto version of the outfit that your avatar can wear to the virtual Ariana Grande concert. And just as you could sell the physical outfit secondhand, you could also sell the NFT version for someone else’s avatar to wear.

Israeli firm developing body cams with face recognition tech for police

Posted by in category: robotics/AI

The firm partnered with Israeli startup Corsight AI to develop the facial recognition cameras to be worn by police officers, Tirza told AFP.

By matching faces to old photographs on its database, the camera developed by Yozmot will be able to instantly identify people in a crowd, even if they are wearing camouflage, make-up or masks.

Corsight refused to confirm the collaboration with Yozmot, according to AFP, but has said that it was working with some 230 “integrators” worldwide who incorporated facial recognition software into cameras.

Computing for Ocean Environments: Bio-Inspired Underwater Devices & Swarming Algorithms for Robotic Vehicles

Posted by in categories: information science, robotics/AI, transportation

There are few environments as unforgiving as the ocean. Its unpredictable weather patterns and limitations in terms of communications have left large swaths of the ocean unexplored and shrouded in mystery.

“The ocean is a fascinating environment with a number of current challenges like microplastics, algae blooms, coral bleaching, and rising temperatures,” says Wim van Rees, the ABS Career Development Professor at MIT. “At the same time, the ocean holds countless opportunities — from aquaculture to energy harvesting and exploring the many ocean creatures we haven’t discovered yet.”

Ocean engineers and mechanical engineers, like van Rees, are using advances in scientific computing to address the ocean’s many challenges, and seize its opportunities. These researchers are developing technologies to better understand our oceans, and how both organisms and human-made vehicles can move within them, from the micro scale to the macro scale.

One Step Closer to Flexible AI

Posted by in category: robotics/AI

The Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) announced on Jan. 5 that professor Lee Sang-wan and his research team at its Department of Bio and Brain Engineering found a way to solve overfitting and underfitting in machine learning.

Artificial intelligence models present optimal solutions to various problems. However, their situational flexibility is still at a very low level. On the other hand, people focus on given problems while responding flexibly to changing conditions and situations.
