What if we told you, a robotic head could match your expressions in real-time?
Blue-faced and flexible like a genie in a lamp…Scientists at Columbia University, New York have developed Eva, the autonomous bot that uses deep learning, a form of artificial intelligence (AI), to 'read' and then mirror the expressions on human faces,
How Deepfake Lips is a Game Changer for Dubbing
When watching foreign films there is a certain feeling of detachment between the audience and the actor that has been dubbed over. This mismatch can be distracting as an actor’s mouth movements are completely out of sync with what they
‘Right to repair’ law in UK and EU means Electrical appliances will be cheaper and last longer
Appliances such as fridges, washing machines, and TVs should last longer and be cheaper to run under new rules. The European Union took ambitious steps to address the environmental harm caused by electronic waste. Companies that sell consumer electronics such as
AI Tech to Give Robotic Exoskeletons the Ability to Think

A team of scientists, led by Yang Hao at Queen Mary University, has developed an AI called neural network to detect human emotions. According to the paper published in the online journal PLOSE ONE, the tech uses radio waves to pick
Graphene could make your computer 1000 times faster
Graphene is superconductive and ultra-thin as it can conduct electricity 10 times better than copper and is 290 times better than silicon. Researchers have created a new graphene-based transistor (transistors are the building blocks of computer circuits) as the speed of
AI ‘doctor’s assistant’ among projects given £20m
The British government has awarded £20m to fund artificial intelligence projects such as a computerised system that advises doctors on the best treatment to give patients. As part of the Turing fellowship scheme, the money will be shared between 15 AI
