【推荐1】While facial recognition technology continues to promote many aspects of human life, it’s now being applied to aid the protection of giant pandas, Xinhua News Agency reported on 6 January 2022.
A nature reserve has built an AI-enabled video monitoring system to better protect giant pandas. Installed with 300 infrared (红外线) cameras, the monitoring system helps ensure the health and safety of 110 wild giant pandas there. It was put into operation two years ago, and has captured (拍摄) numerous photos and videos of pandas engaged in activities such as eating, resting and fighting for mates. It provides scientific data to help us grasp pandas’ living conditions and establish conservation strategies. More importantly, it achieves real-time monitoring of the reserve so that we can discern the threats to the wildlife as early as possible.
A recent study found the facial recognition system can automatically recognize various wild animals caught in infrared cameras, allowing researchers to collect data on giant pandas while staying indoors. It’s shown that by equipping the AI-aided system to retain the filed photos of giant pandas, we obtain a 98% success rate for species recognition. Its success rate of recognizing other wild animals can top 80%. In 2021 alone, this monitoring system captured 2,896 photos of giant pandas and other rare animals and filmed 3,218 seconds of footage, showcasing the reserve’s sound ecological environment as well as a gradual rise in panda population there.
Head of the reserve’s administration, Liu Xingming, said researchers used the system not only to observe the dynamics and health of the giant panda population but also to learn about changes in the natural surroundings of their habitat. “The monitoring system has enabled systematic, scientific, and intelligent conservation of wildlife,” he added. “However, it is expected to be further improved and optimized in the near future.”

【推荐2】Robots can improve mental well-being in the workplace, but only if they look right, research suggests. A study by the University of Cambridge found that people who interacted with robots that were more toy-like, felt a greater connection compared to human-like robots.
Over five weeks, 26 employees took part in the weekly robot-led well-being sessions. While the robots had identical voices, facial expressions and scripts for the sessions, their physical appearance affected how people interacted with them and how effective they thought of them to be.
The first, the QT, is a childlike humanoid robot and roughly 90 centimeters tall, while the second, Misty, is a 36 centimeters tall toy-like robot. According to the researchers, toy-like robots look simpler, meaning people may have had lower expectations and ended up finding the robot easier to talk to and connect with. Those who worked with the humanoid robot found their expectations did not match reality, since the robot was not capable of behaving or interacting like an actual human.
These perceptions of robots are typically guided by popular culture. Researchers added that in films, TV shows and books, robots can do anything that an individual’s imagination can think of. But when faced with a robot in the real world, people find that it often does not live up to expectations.
Co-author of the study, Minja Axelsson, said, “These perceptions of how robots should look or behave might be holding back the uptake of robotics in areas where they can be useful.” Professor Hatice Gunes, from Cambridge’s Department of Computer Science and Technology, said it is “incredibly difficult” to create robots that are capable of natural conversation.

【推荐3】The UK is already a world leader in developing the technology of connected and automated vehicles（also known as CAVs）. Aware of its potential benefits—from improving road safety and reducing traffic congestion, to enabling greater travel independence—the government has been playing an active role in encouraging the technology. One initiative that received government backing is FLOURISH, a research and development project looking at how CAVs can help people less able to travel.
"We're on the cusp of one of the most profound changes ever to happen to our transport system, enabled by new technologies such as self-driving vehicles," said lain Forbes, head of the Centre for CAVs. "These changes could transform the lives of some disabled or older people who currently find it tough to use the transport system.
"However, we won't get there unless those designing the technology engage properly with a wide range of transport users. That is why the government is investing in projects such as FLOURISH, which bring technology companies together with transport users to help ensure our future transport system works for everyone."
FLOURISH adopted a user-centred approach to design and development, with the needs of older adults being the focus of their work. Several trials with older adults have been held over the past three years using simulated environments and self-driving pods, similar to cars.
One of the participants in the trials, Robin, a 76-year-old former BBC journalist says: "It's going to be quite awful when I can't get in a car and go where I want to. It's all very well using the bus, but your friends don't necessarily live by a bus stop and, as you get older, you don't want to walk that far."
Mervyn Kohler, an Age UK spokesman, who has contributed to discussions about mobility and older people for the last 30 years, believes FLOURISH's approach will be key to the positive impact self-driving cars have on older adults. "There is obviously a connection between loneliness and mobility. If you are finding it difficult to get around or are experiencing poor health, either physical or mental, your quality of life is going to be lower." says Mervyn. "We've got to help people get out and about, and this points expressly to the idea of driverless cars."
"FLOURISH is important because it has particularly worked with older people to help develop the technology they would use to interact with a CAV," says Tracey Poole, FLOURISH's project manager. "They often find it difficult to programme the computer with their bad arthritis and poor eyesight. Thus, if we can provide them with a voice recognition way of controlling their journey, that is probably a good idea."
