Lasers and Robots Talk < Back 28 January 2024 Funki Porcini discussed the design and engineering behind his 800-laser Laserium rig in advance of the full one-hour immersive shows, joined by Andy Payne, who assisted with its engineering, and Nicky Cure from Mechanismo. Together, they explored the intersections of lasers, robotics, and design, including the creation of the Crawley Bots. Previous Next The Fourth Portal hosted a post-Gravesham Light Festival talk featuring the creators of the Laserium laser rig and the Crawly Bots. Prior to his immersive evening performances, Ninja Tune legend Funki Porcini (James Braddell) discussed the development of his 800-laser rig, alongside engineer Andy Payne and artist Nicky Cure, the minds behind the Crawly Bots. These robots, bridging the gap between remote-controlled cars and fully autonomous machines, roamed both the Fourth Portal and the LV21 Lightship throughout the weekend, engaging visitors of all ages. The discussion delved into design processes and audience perceptions of both the Laserium and the Crawly Bots. At the conclusion of the page, a video elucidates the differences between viewable lasers, as showcased in the Laserium, and those capable of cutting materials. Inspirational and Innovative While walking the Thames Path, Elvin, Head of Data Analytics for a FinTech company, and his companion encountered the Crawly Bots. After interacting with them briefly, Elvin encapsulated the essence of the talk and the Fourth Portal in a 50-second video, highlighting the connections between play, robotics, learning, and knowledge exchange. https://video.wixstatic.com/video/2fcede_c33a97f88c6048e7b6f0dd07602057fc/1080p/mp4/file.mp4 3D Printed Light Reader Software Engineer Graham Klyne introduced the developing Monotype Compositions Tape Reader at the event.

The UKRI funded Responsible AI UK (RAI UK) has announced its first round of Impact Acceleration projects, investing £1.8M to ensure AI is safe, and that it will be responsible to the needs of society, addressing topics such as Generative AI in teaching and learning. Dr Alan Chamberlain, in the School of Computer Science at the University of Nottingham, said: “Starting to examine how people understand and apply responsible AI in their work is important. It will help us to approach the design of responsible systems together. Involving the public is fundamental, its vitally important to enable people to participate and have input into research. https://www.nottingham.ac.uk/news/responsible-ai-funding For more: Algorithm, AI, Security, Design Previous Next

< Back Public Perception Of Face Search Technology PimEyes is an online face search engine that goes through the Internet to find pictures containing given faces. PimEyes uses face recognition search technologies to perform a reverse image search. Find a face and check where the image appears online. Our face finder helps you find a face and protect your privacy. Facial recognition online system allows you to search by image. Fourth Portal reporting on PimEyes 25 Aug 2024 The following has been cut and pasted from the blog discussing image search company PimEyes. "Face search technology is transforming retail and e-commerce by enhancing personalized shopping experiences and improving security measures. This blog explores its innovative applications and impact on modern commerce Face search technology is rapidly emerging as a transformative force in our everyday shopping experiences. As retailers and e-commerce platforms seek to create more personalized and secure environments for their customers, they're increasingly adopting sophisticated picture analysis systems. These cutting-edge tools are reshaping how we interact with stores, both online and in the physical world. This blog will explore the innovative applications of face search technology in the retail and e-commerce sectors. Our focus will be twofold: investigating how this technology is revolutionizing personalized shopping experiences and examining its crucial role in enhancing security measures. Streamlined Checkout Process is one of the most profound ways that face search technology is being used. [...] Unlike traditional banking through ‘look and snap’, customers can just look into a camera and use it to verify their identity for the purchase. [...] Face search, along with augmented reality (AR), is helping reshape customer-product interactions. Such services can range from seeing how the clothes or accessories would look on a person by applying it digitally, or even makeup, hairstyles, and others. It employs facial mapping because it can overlay products perfectly onto the body of the customer. [...] Highly developed algorithms enable retailers to pick out certain people, such as shoplifters or those who frequently engage in fraudulent transactions, at the very entrance to the store. [...] Walmart employed facial search technology in some of its stores by covertly integrating with checkout self-scanning interfaces and doors, intended to identify shoplifting offenders. [...] “Smile to Pay” by Alibaba was created in 2017 enabling customers to pay for their meals by using only their faces. [...] “Smile to Pay” has been adopted in other stores and restaurants in China and the system has enhanced security. [...] Public perception of face search technology Face search technology enables users to search for instances of a given face across publicly available databases and is applied in various fields, including law enforcement, art, retail, and media. As this technology becomes more prevalent, understanding public perception is extremely essential because addressing public concerns and misconceptions ensures the responsible and ethical use of this cutting-edge technology and builds trust between technology providers and users."
