Artificial intelligence (AI) is a wide-ranging tool that enables people to rethink how we integrate information, analyze data, and use the resulting insights to improve decision making
To reduce waste, the Refashion program helps users create outlines for adaptable clothing, such as pants that can be reconfigured into a dress. Each component of these pieces can be replaced, rearranged, or restyled.
Smart eyewear promises to transform how we see and interact with the world. Among its many potential advantages, the technology offers hands-free access to information, vision enhancement, and accessibility tools.
The no-code platform from Matroid trains ordinary cameras to act like expert inspectors, turning simple footage into a pixel-level defect checklist. Even a handheld GoPro can spot issues human eyes miss—using remarkably small datasets.
In this post, we'll walk through how to evaluate that progress using the same metrics our platform provides automatically, so you can build detectors that get smarter, sharper, and more reliable over time.

In the world of automotive manufacturing, precision is not optional — it is mandatory. Every component, from wiring harnesses to interior panels to fasteners, must be installed correctly, in the correct sequence, at the correct tempo, every single time.
For robots to keep up with the pace of technological innovation, machine learning has become paramount. While robots are already effective at alleviating the manual operation of routine tasks, an intelligent robot should also be able to process their commands with future actions in mind.
We are announcing the release of our state-of-the-art off-policy model-free reinforcement learning algorithm, soft actor-critic (SAC). This algorithm has been developed jointly at UC Berkeley and Google, and we have been using it internally for our robotics experiment.
Daniel Lofaro talks about how he works hard to make things easier and how co-robotics are the way forward, and how bringing cost down cost and better AI is critical for this.
Like its predecessor, JackRabbot 2 is learning how to navigate safely through spaces occupied by people, following the rules of human etiquette. What it learns could help it move comfortably among us in the future.
Future cars will be both self-driving and manual. "We wanted to harness technology to enhance drivers’ skills without interfering with the enjoyment of being behind the wheel," explains José del R. Millán, who holds the Defitech Foundation Chair in Brain-Machine Interface (CNBI).
Over the last decade or so, the world of AI has been obsessed with the problem of pattern recognition — Ask any budding engineer “Give me an algorithm to find X in an environment Y”, and expect to hear the words, “Give me T examples in environment Y, and I will predict X with so much accuracy”.
Circuit elements that store information in their electrical resistances enable a brain-like form of computing, storing and processing information in the same place.
