This work presents a training-free suction grasping system for sorting deformed aseptic beverage cartons, decoupling target identification from grasp-point selection, and compares three geometric methods: k-nearest-neighbour PCA, Sobel cross-product, and RANSAC plane fitting.
The developed CARDINAL (Cardiovascular Assessment via Representation learning from Deep Imaging with Nested Anatomical Latent embeddings), a clinically grounded framework that learns compact representations from routine non-contrast cardiac CT for major adverse cardiovascular event (MACE) prediction, suggests that non-...

It is shown that ASR errors lead to significant safety risks for embodied AI, and automatic correction of ASR errors can reduce the risk, but this is not always effective.
A new system identifies and corrects unreliable object descriptions stored in a robot’s memory, improving the robot’s ability to interact with its environment.
Robots are getting smarter, but how can their hardware match that growth? New Microsoft Research findings show that moving AI inference beyond the robot can improve task success, boost efficiency, and support more advanced physical AI workloads. The post Offloaded inference for real-world physical AI robotics appeared first on Microsoft Research.
