AI Meets Quantum: Technology Enables Tactile Sensation
Scientists have developed a new technology that allows AI to "feel" surfaces by combining quantum science with AI. This system uses a photon-firing scanning laser to detect surface topography by analyzing back-scattered photons with AI, achieving high accuracy in measuring surface roughness. The technology, which can discern minute differences in surface texture, has potential applications in fields like medicine, where it could help detect skin cancer by measuring mole thickness.
