Abstract: In this paper, we present a fully soft miniaturized continuum robot that integrates 3D optical shape sensing through functionalized tubing used as soft optical waveguides. The sensor is ...

A Cognitive Skill is the ability that enables us to think logically, and to learn, remember, and solve problems. In today’s puzzle series, there is 3D Stereogram Illusion is given with many random ...

Abstract: 3D silicon photonic integration is a key packaging method for optical I/O. In 3D silicon photonic integration, TSVs are integrated into silicon chips. The TSV annealing process can cause ...

Optical illusions don’t just fool your eyes—they expose how your brain interprets reality. This video explores five powerful visual illusions that seem impossible at first glance, even when you know ...

Researchers have shown that consumer-grade 3D printers and low-cost materials can be used to produce multi-element optical components that enable super-resolution imaging, with each lens costing less ...

Some artificial intelligence systems are falling for the same optical illusions that trick human vision, a finding that researchers are using to test theories about how the brain processes information ...
