Computer vision connects real-world images with building layouts
A Cornell research team has introduced a new method that helps machines make connections between what’s on the ground and how it represented on a map – an advance that could improve robotics, navigation systems and 3D modeling.
Doctoral student’s system eases patient-discharge process
Every day, millions of people are discharged after extended hospital stays, but matching these patients with appropriate care facilities can be arduous, often reliant on months-old, inaccurate data.
Now, a text message-based, hybrid computer-human system that regularly updates both patients’ and care facilities’ availability statuses, developed by a Cornell doctoral student, is smoothing that time-consuming process. The system was tested at a hospital in Hawaii for 14 months, beginning in early 2022, and helped place nearly 50 patients in care facilities.
Pain tolerance increases during social interaction in VR
Researchers in the Virtual Embodiment Lab found that engagement in social virtual reality, whether with loved ones or total strangers, enhances pain tolerance.
Empire AI: Cornell call for compute resource proposals
Empire AI is now soliciting proposals from Cornell faculty and researchers to use the extended “Alpha” machine with 144 H100 GPUs, as well as the new “Beta” machine that is expected to come online in December.
Choudhury wins Navy Young Investigator award to train robots
Sanjiban Choudhury, assistant professor of computer science in the Cornell Ann S. Bowers College of Computing and Information Science, just received a three-year, $750,000 Young Investigator Program award from the Office of Naval Research (ONR) to develop new ways to train robots to perform complex, multistep tasks, such as inspecting and repairing ship engines.
Mixing Physical, Virtual Worlds to Drive Home Climate Urgency
The Communal eXtended-Reality (CXR) system is a cutting-edge blend of the physical and digital worlds in which virtual scenes are overlaid onto the real world, designed to engage communities in new ways.
