The ability to identify and categorize objects is crucial to an animal's survival. In primates, object recognition is thought to be accomplished primarily in the ventral visual pathway, a chain of ...

Visual objects in the real world are seen in contextual scenes. These contexts are usually coherent in terms of their physical and semantic content, and they usually occur in typical configurations.

Quantum Entanglement is a tricky concept to understand - and that’s because it is so counterintuitive. Imagine two particles on opposite ends of the Universe. These particles can have properties that ...

Robotic systems that mirror humans both in their appearance and movements, also known as humanoid robots, could be best suited for tackling many tasks that are currently performed by human agents.

The brain organizes objects based on their physical size, with a specific region of the brain reserved for recognizing large objects and another reserved for small objects, according to a new article.

It’s been demonstrated since the 1500s that, when falling toward a certain body, objects fall at the same rate. Everyone from Galileo in Pisa to David Scott on the moon demonstrated that. But what if ...

Humanoid robots struggle with new tasks. A new approach could help them handle objects reliably in homes, factories, and ...

An object is something that you can touch. A material is what the object is made from. When we choose a material, we need to select the right one for the object it will finally become. For example, ...

Students will be able to explain that the parts of an object can be rearranged to create a new object. Students will also get a sense of the number of different objects that can be created from a ...

The flexible "fingers" at the tip of an elephant's trunk have provided the inspiration for a versatile robotic gripper capable of picking up and holding onto a variety of objects both large and small ...
