In the realm of technology, advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics are making significant strides in various industries, particularly healthcare and mining.

At Rutgers University, engineers have developed a robot that demonstrates remarkable precision in drawing blood or inserting catheters, surpassing human accuracy. The robot utilizes AI, along with near-infrared and ultrasound imaging, to navigate and perform these delicate procedures more accurately than ever before.

Meanwhile, Facebook has taken a stand against online deception with the creation of a machine learning system. This system is capable of detecting four types of fake profiles, including spammers who manipulate users into disclosing personal information.

In the field of cancer research, AI systems are proving to be valuable tools. Researchers at Case Western Reserve University have developed an AI system that analyses images of cancer tissues to predict the likelihood of cancer recurrence. Interestingly, the system's accuracy has been enhanced by developing race-specific models for predicting the recurrence of cancer in black patients. Another AI system, developed by the same research group, can determine which prostate cancer patients will respond to chemotherapy or immunotherapy and if their cancer will return, revealing cellular differences between black and white cancer patients.

Google researchers have also contributed to the AI-enabled robot revolution. Their creation can walk forward, backward, and turn to the left and right within hours, without the need for human intervention. The four-legged robot, developed by Google, has demonstrated its ability to traverse various terrains, including flat ground, a mattress, and a doormat with crevices, using a deep reinforcement learning algorithm.

Lastly, Exyn Technologies has developed autonomous drones that are transforming the mining industry. These drones can create 3D maps of mines in real-time, reducing the risk of sending humans into potentially dangerous areas. The drones recently mapped a historic Finnish gold mine in less than four days, making it easier to assess the remaining ore in heavily restricted areas.

These advancements in AI and robotics are not only improving efficiency but also enhancing safety in the healthcare and mining sectors, paving the way for a future where technology and human collaboration can create a safer and more efficient world.
