    Four-legged robot learns to sprint up ladders

    ETH Zurich just taught its four-legged ANYMal robot how to climb industrial ladders using custom hooked feet and reinforcement learning. The system tackles 70- to 90-degree ladder angles with a 90% success rate, clocking in at 232 times faster than previous approaches. Best of all, it dynamically corrects its footing in real time if it misses a rung, cracking one of the biggest mobility hurdles in industrial inspection.

    AI achieves a 100% success rate beating Google CAPTCHAs

    ETH Zurich researchers just fine-tuned a YOLO vision model to crack Google's reCAPTCHAv2 image challenges with a 100% success rate. The model trained on around 14,000 labeled image pairs of road objects while mimicking human mouse movement and device fingerprinting. Google noted that most websites have already migrated to its invisible v3 system.
