[ad_1] The CSAIL team has already used the system in hospitals and assisted living facilities to monitor people for issues including Parkinson’s, dementia and COVID-19. The researchers have improved the system, which uses deep machine learning. It can identify activities, such as sleeping, reading, cooking and watching TV, and items like laptops. RF-Diary is accurate […]

MIT AI system knows when to make a medical diagnosis or defer to an expert
[ad_1] The researchers trained the system on multiple tasks, including looking at chest X-rays to diagnose conditions like a collapsed lung. When asked to diagnose cardiomegaly (an enlarged heart), the human-AI hybrid model performed eight percent better than either the AI or medical professionals could on their own. “There are many obstacles that understandably prohibit […]
Autonomous robot uses UVC light to disinfect warehouses
[ad_1] The researchers believe the approach could be used to autonomously disinfect other environments, like factories, restaurants, supermarkets and schools. The system is capable of mapping a given space, and it can navigate between waypoints and other specified areas. “As we drive the robot around the food bank, we are also researching new control policies […]
AI recreates the painting techniques of famous artists
[ad_1] You can’t go back in time to see how Monet or Van Gogh made their masterpieces, but AI might give you the next best thing. MIT CSAIL researchers have created a machine learning system, Timecraft, that can deduce how a painting was produced and recreate the likely brushstrokes, even for famous artists. The design […]
Muscle sensors may let you control a drone by clenching your fist
[ad_1] CSAIL’s tech isn’t ready for real-world use. A Parrot Bebop 2 drone responded to 82 percent of over 1,500 gestures — promising, but not what you’d depend on in a vital situation. The scientists intend to refine the technology, though, including the option of custom or more continuous gestures. They’ll ideally learn from the […]
MIT uses wireless signals and AI to monitor COVID-19 patients at home
[ad_1] The CSAIL team has already put Emerald to use at an assisted living facility, where they used it to remotely monitor a COVID-19 patient. As the patient recovered, the system detected that her breathing rate decreased from 23 to 18 breaths per minute, her sleep improved and she was walking more quickly around her […]
MIT helps self-driving cars ‘see’ through snow and fog
[ad_1] Most autonomous vehicles use LIDAR sensors and/or cameras to figure out where they are on the road, but cameras can be thrown off by lighting conditions or snow-covered signs and lane markings, and LIDAR often becomes less accurate in inclement weather. GPR, on the other hand, sends electromagnetic pulses into the ground to measure […]
MIT’s ‘smart surface’ could improve your WiFi signal tenfold
[ad_1] The array would be relatively inexpensive at just a few cents per antenna, and it would consume little power compared to a conventional system. You wouldn’t need amplifiers or other hardware that typically drains batteries, after all. Tere’s no mention of how soon you could expect RFocus in use. The team would not only […]
MIT researchers use shadows to create a video of what happens off camera
[ad_1] In their experiment, the team filmed a pile of clutter. Off screen, someone created shadows by moving blocks and other objects. Their algorithm predicted the light transport, or the way light is expected to move in a scene, and compared that to the shadows. It then used that info to reconstruct the off-screen video. […]
MIT researchers teach autonomous cars how to deal with selfish drivers
[ad_1] New research from MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) examines the problem of how a self-driving car can predict the behavior of other drivers on the road. This prediction requires a degree of social awareness which is difficult for machines, so the researchers took tools from social psychology to help the system […]
