DeepMind, scientists have successfully trained low-cost humanoid robots to play 1v1 soccer. Using advanced techniques like deep reinforcement learning, the team was able to teach these robots agile skills and tactics, bringing us one step closer to having robots perform complex tasks in the real world.                                                                     Watch on YouTube The training process involved two stages, where robots first learned independent skills like getting up from the ground and scoring goals. In the second stage, these skills were combined into a single soccer-playing agent, which improved its tactics through self-play against previous versions of itself. This progress could lead to the development of advanced humanoid robots capable of performing complex tasks across various industries, su...

DragGAN allows users to manipulate images in seconds with just a click and drag. This AI editing tool that leverages a pre-trained GAN to synthesize ideas that precisely follow user input while remaining on the manifold of realistic images.  Watch on YouTube DragGAN is an interactive approach for intuitive point-based image editing far more powerful than Photoshop’s Warp tool. Unlike Photoshop, which merely smushes pixels around, DragGAN uses AI to regenerate the underlying object. With DragGAN, users can rotate images as if they were 3D, change the dimensions of cars, manipulate smiles into frowns, and adjust reflections on lakes. Moreover, they can change the direction someone faces. This new technique shows that GAN models are more impactful than pretty pictures generated from diffusion models, such as those used in tools like DALLE.2, Stable Diffusion, and Midjourney.  When editing images of diverse subjects, users can deform an image with precise control over where pixels...

  JIZAI ARMS is a supernumerary robotic limb system consisting of a wearable base unit with six terminals and detachable robot arms. The system was designed to enable social interaction between multiple wearers, such as an exchange of arms, and explore possible interactions between digital cyborgs in a cyborg society.  Watch on YouTube People with disabilities often struggle with everyday tasks that others take for granted. With the robotic arms, they could regain independence and improve the quality of their life. This new technology could help them perform tasks such as cooking, cleaning, and even driving with ease. The robots can be controlled in two ways using PC software or the controller. Interestingly, the controller looks like a scaled-down copy of the main unit, with the arms attached to it. The robots can be controlled by the user or an operator. Jizai Arms has the potential to revolutionize the lives of people with disabilities, allowing them to gain independence an...
