A few examples that most of us have seen in the news include autonomous vehicles such as the Google Car, and autonomous stores such as Amazon Go. All of these systems require sophisticated sensing, machine learning and artificial intelligence in order to make them work, which fascinates me.
Tracking the Movement of Cyborg Cockroaches
March 7, 2017New research from North Carolina State University’s Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering offers insights into how far and how fast cyborg cockroaches – or biobots – move when exploring new spaces. The work moves researchers closer to the …
Tech Would Use Drones and Insect Biobots to Map Disaster Areas
November 17, 2016Researchers at North Carolina State University’s Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering have developed a combination of software and hardware that will allow them to use unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and insect cyborgs, or biobots, to ma …
