Growing machines
construction is developed in three dimensions. It is similarly shown that right-angled tetrahedrons, when folded from an edge-connected string, can generate any three dimensional structure where the primitive pixel (or voxel) is a rhombic hexahedron. This construction also suggests a concept of 3D …

Moral machines : perception of moral judgment made by machines
… a future wherein people hand over to autonomous machines the controls to a mode of transportation. These discussions have entered a new phase with the U.S. Department of Transportation (DoT) releasing a 15-point policy that requires manufacturers to explain how their AVs will handle "ethical …

Efficient learning machines
… This thesis is on adapting learning-based machines to these emerging prospects. In particular, subject of this work are three distinct research topics with the underlying drivers: the wish to reliably predict (a) given a large number of classes, (b) given a large number of samples, and (c) …

Teaching machines about emotions
Artificial intelligence algorithms are becoming an increasingly important part of human life with many chat bots and digital personal assistants now interacting directly with us through natural language. Such human-computer interaction can be made more useful by enriching the underlying algorithms …

Machines' perception of space
Architectural design is highly dependent on the architect's understanding of space. However, in the era of digital revolution, when efficiency and economy are the major concerns in most industrial fields, whether a computer can gain human-like understanding to read and operate space and assist with …

Static Machines, Fragile Loads
… counting them as one of six classical simple machines in Le Meccaniche (On Mechanics) . Because inclined planes are actually static machines that do not require any energy to run. They do not discriminate among users. This thesis explores the work of the ramp in moving fragile loads, such as …

Quantum correlations and thermal machines
… a whole new set of possible thermodynamical machines becomes available. One notable case of these is the absorption refrigerator, which performs refrigeration without the need for an external work source. For the third part, we show how one can construct an absorption refrigerator using a …

OPTICAL COMPUTING IN BOLTZMANN MACHINES
This dissertation covers theoretical and experimental work on applying optical processing techniques ot the operation of a Boltzmann machine. A Boltzmann machine is a processor that solves a problem by iteratively optimizing an estimate of the solution. The optimization is done by finding a minimum …

Student perceptions of the shift from soft drink vending machines to milk vending machines in schools
<p>Soft drink vending machines are available in many schools across the nation. Some schools have recently removed soft drink vending machines and replaced them with milk vending machines. The purpose of this study was to investigate high school students’ (n = 84) perceptions of the shift from soft …

Mood Detection in IGT Gaming Machines
The Mood Detection in IGT Gaming Machines System is a piece of software that takes facial inputs in the form of image data and sorts those inputs into a set of moods, all in a manner that allows it to be integrated into gaming machines built by International Game Technology (IGT). To expand on the …
