We have evolved our @IEEEVR paper: EmBARDiment, and created a full OpenSource Unity toolkit for AI Agents with built native compatibility for Android XR, Android Mobile, or Desktop. https://t.co/s79lZ9sIV5 So you can all run experiments locally. With or without API keys.

Most multi-drone systems struggle with one thing: coordination under real-world constraints. A new paper in Science Robotics from TU Delft proposes a model-based approach that lets multiple quadrotors jointly move and orient a cable-suspended load. BUT: without relying on

Ever since I made a video about Fourier Transforms, one of the most requested topics on the channel has been its close cousin, the Laplace Transform. I've been having a lot of fun animating a mini-series about this topic, and the main part is now out. https://t.co/oKawJAGyx1

100k cycles of finger open & close. No motor overheating. Very little wear on the finger tendons. Tendon-driven hands don't usually publish their data on fatigue because tendon wear & tear is an unsolved problem. But we found a way.

This is huge! A UCLA team managed to build an optical generative model that runs on light instead of GPUs. In their demo, a shallow encoder maps noise into phase patterns, which a free-space optical decoder then transforms into images—digits, fashion, butterflies, faces, even

The real answer is that it’s a space-filling curve, which is the natural consequence of any surface of dimension n growing within a topological space of higher dimension. This, specifically, occurs because a 2-manifold (the cortex or cabbage sheaves) begins to grow within a

Why does my cabbage resemble the way the human brain folds (gyrification)? Is my cabbage conscious?

🚨New vision paper on "Programmable Reality"* in @FrontVR we double down on the idea that "XR is to AI, what screens has been to computers" & then reimagine the principles + components that enable it in the real world. Certainly hoping to inspire durable lines of research.
