Space to play or pause, M to mute, left and right arrows to seek, up and down arrows for volume. Robyn Williams: Now Philip Kellman at UCLA has similar doubts about robots, especially on how they can ...

Visual object recognition is foundational to processes of categorization, tool use, and real-world problem solving. Despite considerable effort across many disciplines and many specific advances, ...

Scientists at Duke University have developed a robotic hand with four fingers that can recognize the material and shape of an object by the vibrations it makes when it touches it. The system, called ...

Although most recent research on visual object recognition suggests that shape is represented in a viewer-centered reference frame, Tarr and Pinker (Psychological Science, 1990) propose that ...

To researchers’ surprise, deep learning vision algorithms often fail at classifying images because they mostly take cues from textures, not shapes. When you look at a photograph of a cat, chances are ...

Robotic vision, a cornerstone of modern robotics, enables machines to interpret and respond to their surroundings effectively. This capability is achieved through image processing and object ...
