A group of researchers from the Dalle Molle Institute for Artificial Intelligence and the University of Zurich has developed artificial intelligence software to teach drones to autonomously recognise and follow forest footpaths. While drones flying at high altitudes are already being used commercially, drones cannot yet fly autonomously in complex environments, such as dense forests. In these environments, any little …

The MIPS R2000 microprocessor was launched in January 1986, thirty years ago this month. This was the first commercially-available microprocessor chipset to implement the MIPS instruction set architecture and the first RISC (reduced instruction set computing) processor sold through a licensing business model. It was the brainchild of Stanford University professor John Hennessy and the company he founded was MIPS …

Atmel has found a way to add a force dimension to its touch screen chips without straying from capacitive measurement. The technology is sampling in its maXTouch U chip series for phones. Force sensing expands the touch experience by bringing 3D interactions to enable users more intuitive control of their devices based on the pressure of their touch, said the …
