AI-generated hands perfectly recreate movements by professional pianists

#artificialintelligence

As advancement in Artificial Intelligence continues, experts in various fields are coming up with new ways of utilising the technology. Interestingly, a company has used the mechanics to create hyper-realistic AI-generated virtual hands to accurately recreate songs played by professional pianists. A video, which has now gone viral, features the original soundtrack and the AI hands playing the tunes simultaneously. Created by Canadian-based Massive Technologies, the AI is programmed to understand the musical composition and recreate the same with 3D rendered virtual hands. According to the video description, the AI extracted the notes from the raw audio and generated the exact playing technique, perfectly mincing the hand and body motion.


Researchers use robot to recreate movement of 290-million-old creature that existed before dinosaurs

This undated photo provided by researchers in January 2019 shows the OroBOT, based on an Orobates Pabsti fossil. Scientists have used a nearly 300-million-year old skeleton and preserved ancient footprints to create the moving robot model of prehistoric life. Scientists now have an idea of how an ancient creature likely moved thanks to a nearly 300-million-year-old fossilized skeleton and a set of well-preserved footprints. Studying the ancient fossil and a set of fossilized tracks from a plant-eating creature known as the Orabates pabsti, evolutionary biologist John Nyakatura at Humboldt University in Berlin and robotics expert Kamilo Melo at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne recently created a life-size replica of the animal, which existed before the dinosaurs, scientists say. "We carefully modeled each and every bone," Nyakatura told The Associated Press of the replica.
