In the realm of robotics, the potential of teams of robots working together has been a topic of great interest. The idea of multiple robots collaborating to accomplish complex missions opens up a plethora of possibilities, such as covering vast distances in shorter timeframes, exploring multiple sites simultaneously, or monitoring large geographical areas effectively. Recent
Artificial intelligence has taken a significant leap forward with the unveiling of the “Correction and Planning with Memory Integration” (CPMI) framework by researchers at Shanghai University. This innovative approach leverages large language models (LLMs) to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of robots in executing complex, instruction-based tasks. Traditionally, robots have struggled with unexpected challenges and
The Australian government is currently investigating claims made by a hacking group known as ShinyHunters, who have allegedly stolen the information of 560 million customers from the global events giant Ticketmaster. The stolen data reportedly includes names, addresses, phone numbers, and partial credit card details of the customers. The group has offered to sell the
When artificial intelligence (AI) is embraced, systemic issues can jeopardize women’s safety, and prevalent gender biases in commonly used AI systems can impede the positive utilization of AI in the realm of peace and security in South-East Asia. The women human rights defenders (WHRDs) and women’s Civil Society Organizations (WCSOs) in the area are particularly
Deep learning techniques have seen significant advancements in recent years, with the ability to achieve human-level accuracy on various tasks such as image classification and natural language processing. As a result, researchers have been exploring new hardware solutions to cope with the high computational requirements of these techniques. One approach that has been gaining attention
Language models have gained significant traction in recent years due to their ability to process, generate, and manipulate texts in various human languages. However, despite their impressive capabilities, these models are not without flaws. One of the major challenges faced by large language models (LLMs) is the issue of hallucinations, where the model generates nonsensical
Energy consumption in buildings has long been a concern, with the need to reduce carbon footprints and increase energy efficiency becoming more pressing. One area of innovation that has shown great promise is electrochromic smart windows. These windows have the ability to dynamically regulate solar radiation, offering a potential solution to decreasing the energy consumption
Trump Media and Technology Group, the parent company of Donald Trump’s Truth Social platform, reported a staggering loss of over $300 million in the first quarter of 2024. This represents a significant increase from the previous year, where the company only incurred a net loss of $210,300 during the same period. The dismal financial performance
