Inspired by a theoretical model of particles moving around on a chessboard, new robot swarm research shows that, as magnetic interactions increase, dispersed 'dumb robots' can abruptly gather in large ...

Smartphones and wearables collect real-time data—like traffic flow, air quality, and crowd density—that fuel smart-city services. But when too many devices offload data at once, networks slow down and ...

As more and more people drive electric cars, congestion and queues can occur when many people need to charge at the same time. A new study shows how AI-controlled charging stations, through smart ...

A new UOC-led project will analyze inhabitants' mobility to design more efficient and sustainable shared transport solutions The UPV, the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC) and Spindox Labs, a ...

I have gotten on a Tower Defense game kick, and thought it might be fun to write my own. Well, the level design, "tower" design, etc. would be fun but not the maze traversal algorithm (I don't enjoy ...

Artificial intelligence (AI) and software algorithms are steadily enhancing sensing designs for a range of Internet of Things (IoT) applications, and that’s apparent from the sensor solutions unveiled ...

We are offloading more and more sophisticated knowledge work to smart technology. But the public won't be demanding the head of the algorithm when something goes awry. Rather it will be the company ...
