To develop the system, researchers from New York University and Meta tested Stretch, a commercially available robot made by Hello Robot that consists of a wheeled unit, a tall pole, and a retractable arm, in a total of 10 rooms in five homes. While in a room with the robot, a researcher would scan their surroundings using Record3D, an iPhone app that uses the phone’s lidar system to take a 3D video to share with the robot. The OK-Robot system then ran an open-source AI object detection model over the video’s frames. This, in combination with other open-source models, helped…
ESET researchers have published the names of recently discovered Android apps that primarily exist to keep tabs on users who download them.Six of the apps were available on Google Play, and the remaining were hosted on VirusTotal. Eleven of the apps look like legitimate messaging apps. One is disguised as a news app.The apps silently run remote access trojan (RAT) code known as VajraSpy and are part of a Patchwork APT campaign. Their primary functionality is to spy on people and their snooping capabilities are related to the permissions granted to them. The apps can steal your contacts, files, call records, and text messages. Some of…

Last October we told you about Canon’s nanoimprint lithography (NIL) technology that stamps the circuitry design onto a silicon wafer instead of etching it like ASML’s extreme ultraviolet (EUV) machines do. The Financial Times (via Tom’sHardware) says that Canon has been working on this technology for 15 years and because it doesn’t use lasers to create the pattern on a wafer, the process uses as much as 90% less power than a traditional EUV machine.NIL technology can be used to build chips using a 5nm process node and eventually, it could be used to help produce 2nm chips. The lithography…
