Nowe badania Apple: roboty uczą się działać, oglądając świat oczami ludzi
Apple, we współpracy z MIT, Carnegie Mellon i innymi uczelniami, zaprezentowało nowy sposób trenowania humanoidalnych robotów.
W projekcie „Humanoid Policy ∼ Human Policy” roboty uczą się, analizując nagrania z perspektywy pierwszej osoby, zebrane za pomocą Apple Vision Pro.
Naukowcy stworzyli zbiór danych PH2D, zawierający ponad 25 tys. ludzkich i 1,5 tys. robotycznych demonstracji manipulacji obiektami. Dzięki temu udało się wytrenować jeden, uniwersalny model AI, który może sterować humanoidalnym robotem w rzeczywistym świecie.
Zamiast kosztownych i czasochłonnych sesji teleoperacyjnych, dane zebrano z pomocą aplikacji na Apple Vision Pro, wykorzystującej kamerę i technologię ARKit do śledzenia ruchu głowy i dłoni. Dla tańszej alternatywy badacze zaprojektowali też uchwyt na kamerę ZED Mini, kompatybilny np. z Meta Quest 3.
Dodatkowo, by dopasować tempo ruchów ludzi do możliwości robotów, nagrania spowolniono czterokrotnie na etapie trenowania.
Sercem projektu jest HAT – model AI, który uczy się na podstawie wspólnego formatu danych od ludzi i robotów. Zamiast oddzielnie analizować każdy typ źródła, HAT tworzy jedną uniwersalną „politykę działania”, co pozwala robotom lepiej radzić sobie z nowymi zadaniami.
Badanie otwiera nowe możliwości w dziedzinie robotyki i pokazuje potencjał integracji technologii Apple w automatyzacji przyszłości. Więcej szczegółów tutaj.
Więcej na temat robotów — nie tylko tych humanoidalnych, ale i przemysłowych — także w kontekście AI, usłyszysz w nowym odcinku mojego podcastu „Bo czemu nie?”.

Scientists Discover Hidden Cause of Alzheimer’s Hiding in Plain Sight – SciTechDaily
A new study by UC San Diego researchers has shown that the gene PHGDH, once considered only a biomarker for Alzheimer’s, actually plays a direct causal role by disrupting gene regulation in the brain through a newly discovered, non-enzymatic function. Using AI, they identified a drug candidate, NCT-503, that targets this “moonlighting” function and significantly slowed Alzheimer’s progression in mouse models. Credit: SciTechDaily.comHealth

Researchers found the PHGDH gene directly causes Alzheimer’s and discovered a drug-like molecule, NCT-503, that may help treat the disease early by targeting the gene’s hidden function.A recent study has revealed that a gene previously identified as a biomarker for Alzheimer’s disease is not just a marker, it is a direct cause of the disease. Researchers at the University of California, San Diego discovered that the gene plays a previously unrecognized secondary role that actively drives the development of Alzheimer’s. Using artificial intelligence, the team was able to uncover this hidden function and identify a potential therapeutic strategy to block the gene’s harmful activity.
The findings were published on April 23 in the journal Cell.
Alzheimer’s disease affects approximately one in nine people aged 65 and older, making it the most common form of dementia. Although certain genetic mutations are known to cause Alzheimer’s, these cases represent only a small fraction of the total. Most individuals with Alzheimer’s do not carry mutations in any of the established disease-causing genes. These sporadic or “spontaneous” cases have long puzzled scientists, as their underlying causes remain largely unknown.

I’ve been following the #ParkFire a couple hours north of me. Our #SierraNevada mountains are a laboratory for fire management.
I didn’t realize how many #cameras are now spread across the state.
#UCSanDiego has quite a program.
A recent paper from two researchers at #UCSanDiego claims #ChatGPT 4 basically passed the #TuringTest. Except that it wasn't a Turing test:
"We used a two-player formulation of the game, where a single human interrogator conversed with
a single witness who was either a human or a machine. While this differs from Turing’s original
three-player formulation, [..]"
Is there anybody in the whole #AI space who can be trusted? Anybody?

@bahome I remember Dan helping at the weekly problem clinic and we asked him to explain a question. His response was something like - that’s one from Dr. Carpenter, let me see … and after a few minutes he could explain it. Didn’t feel so bad after that. #Warren #UCSanDiego

Disgusting news out of the University of California union fight...What do you think the chances are these folks have had their private digital devices and email combed through?
Its almost a certainly. For what should be protected first amendment activity.
When we talk about a right to privacy and making tools to protect those rights. This is the abuse we are talking about.
