MegaPortraits – Megapixel Neural Head Avatars

July 27, 2022 by · Leave a Comment 

“We propose a system for the one-shot creation of high-resolution human avatars, called megapixel portraits or MegaPortraits for short …. Our model imposes the motion of the driving frame (i.e., the head pose and the facial expression) onto the appearance of the source frame to produce an output image.”

“Ex Machina” is a smart, sleek movie about men and the machines they make, but it’s also about men and the women they dream up.”

Definitely a future of possibilities along with our willingness to navigate uncharted territories if we choose to accept unpredictable consequences.

Atlas Humanoid Robot and DARPA’s Robotic Challenge

July 15, 2013 by · Leave a Comment 

Atlas is one of the most advanced humanoid robots ever built, but is essentially a physical shell for the software brains and nerves that the teams will continue to develop and refine. That software, and the actions of a human operator through a control unit, will guide the suite of sensors, actuators, joints and limbs that make up the robot.

Atlas, developed by Boston Dynamics, is one of many robots being developed to complete the physical tasks planned for the DARPA Robotics Challenge Trials.

Big Dog LS3 Robotic Prototype Auto-tracking a Human

February 4, 2010 by · Leave a Comment 

DARPA funded artificially-intelligent robot in action. This entity uses GPS and machine vision to follow along with mobile humans, and function as a semi-autonomous collaborator. There’s a visceral shift in perception when we interact with sensor driven embodied AI. Animal nature, human nature, or AI nature.
