French AI Defense Startup Tracks Geospatial Data With New Savoir-Faire
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is growing fast, upwards and outwards, out of its adolescence. We have moved beyond the cats and dogs phase of Machine Learning (ML) where two furry animals, each with four legs, teeth and claws might be mistaken for each other.
An algorithm that merges online and offline reinforcement learning
In recent years, a growing number of researchers have been developing artificial neural network (ANN)- based models that can be trained using a technique known as reinforcement learning (RL). RL entails training artificial agents to solve a variety of tasks by giving them “rewards” when they perform well, for instance, when they classify an image correctly.
Deep Learning AI Needs Tools To Adapt To Changes In The Data Environment
In the continuing theme of higher level tools to improve developing useful applications, today we’ll visit feature engineering in a changing environment.

A transparent artificial muscle to enable camouflaging in soft robots
The ability to become transparent is a considerable evolutionary advantage, as it allows animals to blend in with their environment, avoid predators and mask their movements. Robots with similar capabilities could be of great value for a number of applications, for instance, aiding surveillance and research that involves observing animals in their natural habitat.
Robotic gripper with soft, sensitive fingers can handle cables with unprecedented dexterity
For humans, it can be challenging to manipulate thin flexible objects like ropes, wires, or cables. But if these problems are hard for humans, they are nearly impossible for robots. As a cable slides between the fingers, its shape is constantly changing, and the robot’s fingers must be constantly sensing and adjusting the cable’s position and motion.
