Newswise — Would you trust a driverless car? A 2024 global survey involving nearly 8000 participants suggests most people are wary of handing over the steering wheel to sensors, cameras and computer algorithms. However, a new study by Australian and French researchers shows that augmented reality (AR) could increase overall confidence in autonomous vehicles by…
The Science Newswise — Structural defects that form during additive manufacturing, also known as 3D printing, are a barrier to some applications of this technology. Researchers used diagnostic tools and machine learning to develop a new method for detecting and predicting defects in 3D printed materials. This method could transform the 3D printing process. The…
Newswise — In a novel breakthrough, researchers have developed a novel technique called vectorial digitelligent optics (VDO) for high-resolution non-line-of-sight (NLOS) imaging, as reported in Engineering. This innovation holds great promise for applications in robotic vision, remote sensing, autonomous driving, and more. Traditional NLOS imaging techniques face challenges such as the need for ultrafast time-resolved…
