When we see a hand, regardless of whether it's open, in a fist, or pointing a finger, we still recognize it as a hand. If a computer has only been taught to recognize an open hand, however, it will ...

Researchers have demonstrated a computer system that can discover and identify the real-world objects it 'sees' based on the same method of visual learning that humans use. Researchers from UCLA ...

In order to see and then grasp objects, robots typically utilize depth-sensing cameras. And while such cameras may be thwarted by transparent or shiny objects, scientists at Carnegie Mellon University ...

American black bears may be able to recognize things they know in real life, such as pieces of food or humans, when looking at a photograph of the same thing. This is one of the findings of a study ...
