According to news reporting out of Milano, Italy, by NewsRx editors, res earch stated, “Bioinspired walking hexapod robots are a relatively young branch of robotics.” Our news reporters obtained a quote from the research from Polytechnic Universit y Milan: “Despite the high degree of flexibility and adaptability derived from t heir redundant design, open-source implementations do not fully utilize this pot ential. This paper proposes an exhaustive description of a hexapod robot-specifi c control architecture based on open-source code that allows for complete contro l over a robot’s speed, body orientation, and walk gait type. Furthermore, terra in interaction is deeply investigated, leading to the development of a terrain-a dapting control algorithm that allows the robot to react swiftly to the terrain shape and asperities, such as non-linearities and non-continuity within the work space. For this purpose, a dynamic model derived from interpreting the hexapod m ovement is presented and validated through a Matlab SimMechanicsTM simulation.”

Although machine learning models have show n promise in improving the current gold standard of pain monitoring (self-report s) only a handful of datasets are freely accessible to researchers. This paper p resents the PainMonit Dataset for automated pain detection using physiological d ata. The dataset consists of two parts, as pain can be perceived differently dep ending on its underlying cause. (1) Pain was triggered by heat stimuli in an exp erimental study during which nine physiological sensor modalities (BVP, 2 x EDA, skin temperature, ECG, EMG, IBI, HR, respiration) were recorded from 55 healthy subjects.”

According to news reporting from Columbia, South Carolina, by NewsRx journalists, research stated, “The lack of transparency in AI-related technology poses challenges in identifying elements that influence conversation fluency with chatbot. Drawing from media richness, task-technology fit, and flow theories, we propose an integrated framework to investigate how chatbots’ human oid characteristics affect users’ process fluency.” The news correspondents obtained a quote from the research from the University o f South Carolina, “Furthermore, we explore boundary conditions of dialogue chara cteristics, including conversation types (topic-related vs. task-related) and in teraction mechanisms (free-text vs. button-based) that amplify or disrupt such f low-like experience in conversation. Two separate scenario-based experimental st udies were conducted to explore two chatbot humanoid characteristics, human-like cues (Study 1) and tailored responses (Study 2). Results suggest that a match b etween chatbot’s humanoid and dialogue characteristics can increase fluency in c omprehending the message, enhancing customer satisfaction and usage intention. S pecifically, chatbots with humanoid conversational cues promote more flow-like m essages in topic-related conversation or free-text interaction.”

According to news reporting out of Zhengzhou, People’ s Republic of China, by NewsRx editors, research stated, “In the field of tradit ional landscape painting and art image restoration, traditional restoration meth ods have gradually revealed limitations with the development of society and tech nological progress.” Our news journalists obtained a quote from the research from Zhengzhou Normal Un iversity: “In order to enhance the restoration effects of Chinese landscape pain tings, an innovative image restoration algorithm is designed in this research, c ombining edge restoration with generative adversarial networks (GANs). Simultane ously, a novel image restoration model with embedded multi-scale attention dilat ed convolution is proposed to enhance the modeling capability for details and te xtures in landscape paintings. To better preserve the structural features of art istic images, a structural information-guided art image restoration model is int roduced. The introduction of adversarial networks into the repair model can impr ove the repair effect. The art image repair model adds a multi-scale attention m echanism to handle more complex works of art. The research results show that the image detection model improves by 0.20, 0.07, and 0.06 in the Spearman rank cor relation coefficient, Pearson correlation coefficient, and peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR), respectively, compared to other models.”
