It’s getting harder and harder to squeeze more performance out of your phone’s camera hardware. That’s why companies like Google are turning to computational photography: using algorithms and machine ...

The next time you catch your robot watching sitcoms, don't assume it's slacking off. It may be hard at work. TV shows and video clips can help artificially intelligent systems learn about and ...

Scientists are making progress on neural devices that can translate the thoughts of a paralyzed person into driving action for a prosthetic device. Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of ...

Swarms of drones flying in terrifyingly perfect formation could be one step closer, thanks to a control algorithm being developed at MIT. The complexities involved in controlling teams of moving ...

You’ve got the perfect shot of a cityscape from your hotel room—if it weren’t for those pesky reflections in the window. Photographers are often stymied by their own reflection or that of their camera ...

Today's drone aircraft are capable of impressive feats of aerial acrobatics, but a single drone can't do much. Most proposed applications for drone aircraft call for a flock of them, but the risk of ...

Self-driving cars are often thought of as superior to human drivers, but humans may still be able to teach the machines a thing or two. Autonomous cars aren’t particularly good at executing lane ...

You and I see a cute picture of a dog. But Google’s neural network sees guacamole. The trickery behind this new way to fool AI is a bigger deal than you might think. Over the last few years, ...

Have you ever seen (or eaten) a delicious meal and wished you had the recipe to make it? Now all you have to do is take a picture and give it to an algorithm developed by MIT's Computer Science and ...
