Soft-robotic sampling robot could help keep front-line staff free from infection

Designed to address the risk to front-line staff from COVID-19, this autonomous swab-sampling robot is designed to take the human element out of sample gathering.

BC-Z aims to offer "zero-shot" learning for generalized autonomous robotics

Using a now public-access dataset, a research team has created a robotics control system which can generalize to unseen related tasks — allowing robots to interpret natural-language commands and video demonstrations.

Autonomous drones, triggered by a machine learning algorithm, could solve the urban feral pigeon problem

With research suggesting feral pigeons do as much as $1.1 billion in damage in the US alone, a project which pairs a commercial drone with machine learning to scare them away — without injury — could prove key to their control.

Did you check for potential errors in the labeled training dataset?

Attention: Don’t presume human or model-generated labels to be the growth truth for machine learning deployment in autonomous vehicular systems.

Can Retinal Scans Help in Predicting Myocardial Infarction?

The proposed AI system has an accuracy between 70% and 80% that can be employed as a second referral mechanism for cardiovascular examination.

Critical Asset Monitoring with LPWAN

Critical asset monitoring tools are designed to perform real-time analysis of the current status of critical assets. With the help of a digital twin, it is possible to perform anomaly detection for said assets. Read more about it in this article.

CyberSpec turns machine learning onto the problem of spectrum sensor attacks, without overloading the host

The CyberSpec framework is designed to detect anomalous behavior linked to cyber-attacks against crowd-sensing spectrum sensors, even when said sensors are running on lightweight resource-constrained hardware like a Raspberry Pi.

HyperTransformer bests rivals at few-shot learning - and takes advantage of unlabeled samples

Developed at Google Research, HyperTransformer decouples the task space and individual task complexity to generate all model weights in just one pass — while also offering support for unlabeled sample ingestion.

Educating the next generation of coders

Hardware and software engineers will be the lifeblood of tomorrow's connected world. Academia is working hard to ensure a steady supply, in part by adapting engineering education to train the next generation of IoT innovators.
