Computer Science majors Victoria Graf and Arya Maheshwari have been awarded Goldwater Scholarships, an annual award for outstanding undergraduates interested in careers in mathematics, the natural sciences and engineering. They are two of four students selected from Princeton, and among the 413 scholarship recipients selected across the United States.

All intelligent organisms have a nervous system, a way for communication to flow between the brain and the motor system and vice versa. Researchers at Princeton have taken a first step in developing this type of coordination for mechanical AI systems using the tools of machine learning.

Andrés Monroy-Hernández sees an opportunity to build something better this time.

Matt Weinberg, an expert in economics and computation, sees decentralization as a tool, rather than an objective.

A startup cofounded by Felix Heide has been acquired by Torc. Heide’s technology will start being used in operational autonomous test trucks in the not-too-distant-future.

5G communications’ superfast download speeds rely on the high frequencies that drive the transmissions. But the highest frequencies come with a tradeoff.

Yuri Pritykin, an expert in genomics and computational biology, has received the National Science Foundation’s CAREER award, a top honor for early-career faculty.

Christopher Moretti and Matt Weinberg were recognized yesterday at the annual School of Engineering and Applied Science Excellence in Teaching Awards.

The Sloan Foundation has announced that Felix Heide, an expert in computer vision, and Anirudha Majumdar, an expert in robotics, have been selected as 2023 Sloan Research Fellows in computer science.

For artificial intelligence to realize its potential — to relieve humans from mundane tasks, make life easier, and eventually invent entirely new solutions to our problems — computers will need to surpass us at two things that we humans do pretty well: see the world around us and understand our language.

Exploring a new way to teach robots, Princeton researchers have found that human-language descriptions of tools can accelerate the learning of a simulated robotic arm lifting and using a variety of tools.

For Ruth Fong, the fundamental appeal of computer science lies in its creativity. “To be able to program,” she said, “is to be able to create and be creative.”
