Genetic algorithms are a class of optimization techniques that are inspired by the process of natural selection. They were first introduced by John Holland in the 1960s and have since found application in various fields, ranging from engineering and computer science to biology and economics.   Genetic algorithms, often referred to as GAs, are grounded […]

In 1950, the brilliant British computer scientist, Alan Turing, introduced an experimental approach aimed at addressing the profound question: can machines possess cognitive capabilities? His proposal posited that if a human conversing with an entity, be it an artificially intelligent machine (AI) or another human, for a mere five minutes, couldn’t distinguish between them, it […]

In the midst of the ongoing energy transition, a prominent trend shaping the power market’s evolution is the emergence of decentralized power generation. This transformative shift is characterized by the decentralization of energy production, the integration of intelligent energy systems, active participation from consumers, and a heightened reliance on renewable energy sources. In this paradigm […]

Service robots have begun to make appearances in a variety of everyday tasks, such as handling parcel deliveries, providing guidance to the visually impaired, serving the public at airports, and even engaging in construction site inspections, as evidenced in Joensuu. These robots exhibit diverse modes of mobility, utilizing legs, wheels, or even the ability to […]

Researchers in Australia have developed a cutting-edge algorithm capable of swiftly halting a man-in-the-middle (MitM) cyberattack on an unmanned military robot.   By leveraging deep learning neural networks to emulate human brain behavior, experts in artificial intelligence from Charles Sturt University and the University of South Australia (UniSA) trained the robot’s operating system to recognize […]

Artificial intelligence (AI) holds the potential to expedite coding, enhance driving safety, and streamline daily tasks, but a recent commentary in the Joule journal, penned by the creator of Digiconomist, illustrates how, with widespread adoption, it may result in a substantial energy footprint, potentially surpassing the energy demands of entire nations in the future.   […]

As businesses strive to diminish their energy consumption and curb associated carbon emissions, one particular area ripe for optimization is indoor heating and cooling. HVAC, which encompasses heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems, typically accounts for approximately 40% of a building’s total energy usage. Implementing methods that conserve electricity while ensuring a comfortable indoor environment […]

A team of researchers hailing from the Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD) has achieved a significant breakthrough in the area of artificial intelligence (AI). They’ve harnessed the power of reinforcement learning to conquer the challenge presented by champion Street Fighter players. This innovative research endeavor spawned a sophisticated software designed for intricate movement […]

Mastering the technique of landing a helicopter on the deck of a ship is a formidable task, especially for Navy pilots. Unlike a conventional runway, a ship’s landing area is compact and constantly in motion due to the sway of the sea. Various attempts have been made to automate ship landings, but none have effectively […]

While photographs are inherently two-dimensional (2D), the demands of autonomous vehicles and various technological applications require navigation within a three-dimensional (3D) environment. Enterprising researchers have devised a novel approach aimed at assisting artificial intelligence (AI) in extracting 3D insights from 2D images, thereby amplifying the utility of cameras for these burgeoning technologies.   “Present methods […]
