So far this activity has been accessed 242 times and 24 people have earned a Transum Trophy for completing it. Featured ActivityMaths Mind Reader This spectacular magic trick never fails to amaze people of all ages assuming they can add and subtract very simple numbers. The mathematics comes in finding out how the trick works. Recent News:Novel robust-optimal controllers based on fuzzy descriptor systemThe Takagi--Sugeno (T--S) fuzzy descriptor system offers a promising avenue for controlling non-linear systems but lacks optimal control strategies. Moreover, while robust control methods have been developed, they add additional complexity. To address these limitations, a team of researchers has developed novel optimal and robust-optimal controllers based on the T--S fuzzy descriptor model, holding great potential for enhanced autonomous systems. more... The math problem that took nearly a century to solve: Secret to Ramsey numbersLittle progress had been made in solving Ramsey problems since the 1930s. Now, researchers have found the answer to r(4,t), a longstanding Ramsey problem that has perplexed the math world for decades. more... Powerful new AI can predict people's attitudes to vaccinesA powerful new tool in artificial intelligence is able to predict whether someone is willing to be vaccinated against COVID-19. more... Researchers develop a new control method that optimizes autonomous ship navigationExisting ship control systems using Model Predictive Control for Maritime Autonomous Surface Ships (MASS) do not consider the various forces acting on ships in real sea conditions. Addressing this gap, researchers developed a novel time-optimal control method, that accounts for the real wave loads acting on a ship, enabling effective planning and control of MASS at sea. more... Satellites for quantum communicationsThrough steady advances in the development of quantum computers and their ever-improving performance, it will be possible in the future to crack our current encryption processes. To address this challenge, researchers are developing encryption methods that will apply physical laws to prevent the interception of messages. To safeguard communications over long distances, the QUICK space mission will deploy satellites. more... Balancing training data and human knowledge makes AI act more like a scientistWhen you teach a child how to solve puzzles, you can either let them figure it out through trial and error, or you can guide them with some basic rules and tips. Similarly, incorporating rules and tips into AI training -- such as the laws of physics --could make them more efficient and more reflective of the real world. However, helping the AI assess the value of different rules can be a tricky task. more... Method rapidly verifies that a robot will avoid collisionsA new safety-check technique can prove with 100 percent accuracy that a planned robot motion will not result in a collision. The method can generate a proof in seconds and does so in a way that can be easily verified by a human. more... |
