01HEADLINES & LAUNCHES

GOOGLE DEEPMIND'S AI RAT BRAINS COULD MAKE ROBOTS SCURRY LIKE THE REAL THING

DeepMind and Harvard University developed a virtual rat with AI neural networks trained on actual rat movements and neural patterns to probe the brain circuits responsible for complex motor skills. This bio-inspired AI has the capacity to generalize learned movement skills to new environments, offering insights into brain function and advancing robotics. The research demonstrates that digital simulations can effectively mimic and decode neural activity related to different behaviors.

RESEARCHERS LEVERAGE SHADOWS TO MODEL 3D SCENES, INCLUDING OBJECTS BLOCKED FROM VIEW

PlatoNeRF is an AI technique developed by MIT and Meta researchers that uses shadows and single-photon lidar to create 3D models of scenes, including obstructed areas. This method could enhance the safety of autonomous vehicles and improve AR/VR experiences. PlatoNeRF outperforms traditional methods and has promising practical applications with lower-resolution sensors.
