Patent-pending imaging technologies created in Purdue University’s College of Engineering could be developed and commercialized for applications as diverse as medical imaging, autonomous navigation, surveillance, microscopy and advanced manufacturing.This post was originally published on this […]

University of California, Irvine scientists have expanded on a longstanding model governing the mechanics behind slip banding, a process that produces strain marks in metals under compression, gaining a new understanding of the behavior of […]

Many robotic applications rely on robotic arms or hands to handle different types of objects. Estimating the pose of such hand-held objects is an important yet challenging task in robotics, computer vision and even in […]

In industry, the detection of anomalies such as scratches, dents, and discolorations is crucial to ensure product quality and safety. However, conventional methods rely on heavy computational processing and image enhancement and may not truly […]

The research team (NEAL) from the University of South China has made significant progress in nuclear reactor radiation-shielding design. The team has developed a radiation-shielding optimization method (RP-NSGA and RP-MOABC) based on a reference-point-selection strategy, […]
