Abstract: Object detection is essential for safe autonomous driving systems. While cameras are the most commonly used modality, their performance degrades significantly under low-light or scattering ...

At Cornell University, researchers are exploring whether these constraints could be addressed through in situ construction. Rather than adapting traditional land-based methods to underwater conditions ...

Researchers have developed a new method for 3D printing objects with very different properties, including levels of hardness and transparency, on a pixel-by-pixel basis while using commonly available ...

Using an affordable 3D printer and the CRAFT method, researchers created a model human hand from a single feedstock with distinct domains that mimic the hardness or flexibility of skin, ligaments, ...

Learn simple magic tricks using everyday objects you already have. These easy techniques are designed for beginners and focus on clear moves, natural handling, and strong visual effects that anyone ...

Physically, sound is just pressure moving through a medium. If you harness that pressure correctly, you can actually push things around using nothing but sound. That's exactly what researchers at ...

Color 3D printing has gone mainstream, and we expect more than one hacker will be unpacking one over the holidays. If you have, say, a color inkjet printer, the process is simple: print. Sure, maybe ...

Abstract: Ensuring stable object placement is crucial to prevent objects from toppling over, breaking, or causing spills. When an object makes initial contact to a surface, and some force is exerted, ...

A new open-source tool is reshaping how engineers design multi-material objects. Charles Wade, a fourth-year PhD student in the Department of Computer Science at CU Boulder, has created a design ...

3D printing may be a breakthrough technology, but it isn’t sustainable. Most printers still rely on petroleum-based plastics, while greener alternatives are too brittle to use in parts that need ...
