We take our understanding of where we are for granted, until we lose it. When we get lost in nature or a new city, our eyes and brains kick into gear, seeking familiar objects that tell us where we ...

In complex underwater situations, how to realize object extraction accurately and effectively is the key technology of underwater object recognition. In this paper, the detection and recognition ...

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 ...

The object recognition test is now among the most commonly used behavioral tests for mice. A mouse is presented with two similar objects during the first session, and then one of the two objects is ...

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, ...

This research aims to realize a service to convey haptic information that is hard to represent by video and sound, such as the hardness or texture of an object. As part of it, we developed a haptic ...

Getting computers to recognize objects has been a historically difficult problem in computer science, but with the rise of machine learning it is becoming easier to solve. One of the tools that can be ...

Apple's patent applications always generate a lot of interest as they are one of the few windows we have into the company's research and development labs. Some patent applications are more interesting ...
