Cyborg Insects Update – MetaDevo

The Amazing Cockroach, Biomimetic Robots and Cyborg Bugs in Recent Years Although some might squirm at the notion—or the ethics—insects are very mobile and adaptable to all kinds of environments. Terrestrial insect-machine hybrid robots have long been discussed as alternatives to artificial centimetre-scale mobile robots. These hybrid robots can possess various functionalities (e.g., localization, object … Read more

Beyond Imitation – O’Reilly

The first AI image generation model I got to play around with was Midjourney v2 in summer 2022. A month earlier, OpenAI had launched DALL-E 2 in beta, and the results looked unbelievably magical. You could generate images in any art style simply by prompting an AI with the name of an artist. I didn’t … Read more

Understanding Vision Transformers (ViTs): Hidden properties, insights, and robustness of their representations

Understanding Vision Transformers (ViTs): Hidden properties, insights, and robustness of their representations

It is well-established that Vision Transformers (ViTs) can outperform convolutional neural networks (CNNs), such as ResNets in image recognition. But what are the factors that cause ViTs’ superior performance? To answer this, we investigate the learned representations of pretrained models. In this article, we will explore various topics based on high-impact computer vision papers: The … Read more
