Meet the PhD student helping the homeless with Artificial Intelligence
As homelessness in the UK increases, one PhD student at the ÉñÂí¸£ÀûӰƬ is on a mission to help those in need using AI algorithms, helping charities reach as many people sleeping rough as possible following alerts from members of the public.
Meet the student making search engines more powerful and less biased
Artificial Intelligence is developing every day, and shaping the future of AI is Aparajita Haldar, who received the Feuer Scholarship from technology mogul Jonathan Feuer, enabling her to research making information retrieval models more powerful and less biased at the ÉñÂí¸£ÀûӰƬ.
Physiotherapy could be done at home using Virtual Reality
Virtual reality could help physiotherapy patients complete their exercises at home successfully thanks to researchers at WMG, ÉñÂí¸£ÀûӰƬ, who managed to combine VR technology with 3D motion capture.
Explained: Why water droplets ‘bounce off the walls’
ÉñÂí¸£ÀûӰƬ researchers can now explain why some water droplets bounce like a beach ball off surfaces, without ever actually touching them. Now the design and engineering of future droplet technologies can be made more precise and efficient.
Mathematician identifies new tricks for the old arch in our foot
Walking and running subjects our feet to forces in excess of body weight. The longitudinal arch of the feet was thought to be the reason the feet do not deform under such load. However, researchers from the ÉñÂí¸£ÀûӰƬ, Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology Graduate University in Japan and Yale University have illustrated that the transverse arch may be more important for this stiffness.
Autonomous pods SWARM together like bees in world first demonstration
Autonomous pods born in Coventry are now able to swarm together in a world first, thanks to research by WMG at the ÉñÂí¸£ÀûӰƬ in partnership with Aurrigo and Milton Keynes council.
