Computers are increasingly able to understand human behavior—and now they can do so by examining how people move their eyes. Researchers led by the Max Planck Institute for Informatics have created an AI-based software system that infers personality traits by analyzing eye movement patterns. Just as humans instinctively form impressions of others based on visual […]

A novel AI model is showing an exceptional capacity to predict human behavior by analyzing visual and contextual information in real time. Instead of merely responding to motion, it infers what individuals are likely to do next. Researchers at Texas A&M University’s College of Engineering, in collaboration with the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and

Entering ETH Zurich’s Soft Robotics Lab feels like stepping into a blend of a children’s playroom, a cutting-edge workshop, and a curiosity cabinet. Researchers scatter workbenches with foam blocks, plush toys—including a soft squid—and other colorful objects to teach robots dexterous skills. Sensors, cables, and measuring instruments cover nearly every surface. Meanwhile, skeletal fingers displayed

Generative AI and robotics are rapidly driving us toward a future where we can produce an object within minutes just by asking for it. MIT researchers have already taken a major step: they’ve built a speech-to-reality system—an AI-powered workflow that lets users give spoken instructions to a robotic arm, effectively “talking” objects into existence, including

On Tuesday, Samsung released its first triple-folding phone, a special-edition model with a staggering price beyond the reach of most consumers. The $2,443 Galaxy Z TriFold, over twice the price of the iPhone 17, goes on sale December 12. Expansive 10-Inch Display for Enhanced Creativity and Productivity Ultra-thin, it unfolds into a 10-inch (25.4 cm)

Research from King’s College London and Carnegie Mellon University indicates that robots driven by popular AI models are not yet safe for general-purpose, real-world applications. For the first time, the study examined how robots using large language models (LLMs) respond when given access to personal data, such as a person’s gender, nationality, or religion. The

With governments increasing pressure on platforms from social media to adult sites, firms offering AI-based selfie age checks are experiencing strong growth. The technology offers quick, accurate enforcement of measures such as Australia’s under-16 social media ban, which takes effect on December 10. For users, the age-check process is simple: you snap a straight-on selfie
