Owners of electric vehicles often face anxiety when it comes to how far their car’s charge can really take them, but a new approach from North Carolina State University researchers using big data could change the way electric vehicle owners think about...
Researchers at North Carolina State University are working on a device to improve communication between humans and their furry friends. It is a bond already being leveraged by Sean Mealin and his service dog, Simba. They have worked together for about a year and a...
And it when it comes to understanding our dogs – despite our intelligence and history with dogs which dates back thousands of years, sometimes we’re simply better at understanding what our dogs are trying to say than at other times when we completely...
Sometimes it can be difficult to get your canine companion to get the commands you’re giving, but there could be an easier way in the future. Researchers at North Carolina State University are working on a means to improve those communication skills with the...
North Carolina State University researchers have developed technology that allows cyborg cockroaches, or biobots, to pick up sounds with small microphones and seek out the source of the sound. The technology is designed to help emergency personnel find and rescue...
The numerous work and companion dogs we have today are the result of the domestication of gray wolves thousands of years ago. Although dogs have learned to learn some aspects of human behavior, human-dog communication is still relatively primitive. In a new study,...
In a collapsed building, sound is the best way to find survivors, says Dr. Alper Bozkurt, an assistant professor of electrical and computer engineering at North Carolina State University and senior author of two papers on the work. “The goal is to use the...
Two NCSU engineers believe rapid transit cars on elevated guideways could connect N.C. State’s campus.
Researchers at North Carolina State University have made it harder for anyone to use range anxiety as an excuse for not wanting to own an electric car. A team of computer engineering professors has created software that more accurately estimates the amount of miles...

We may have been thinking about how dogs “talk” far too narrowly. Researchers at North Carolina State University are developing a special platform that lets humans communicate more clearly with their their furry best friends. Unlike previous attempts at a...
North Carolina State University researchers have developed a suite of technologies that can be used to enhance communication between dogs and humans, which has applications in everything from search and rescue to service dogs to training our pets.

‘We’ve developed a platform for computer-mediated communication between humans and dogs that opens the door to new avenues for interpreting dogs’ behavioral signals and sending them clear and unambiguous cues in return,’ said Dr. David Roberts...
Dogs communicate primarily through body language, and one of our challenges was to develop sensors that tell us about their behavior by observing their posture remotely, said Dr. David Roberts, assistant professor of computer science at NC state and co-author of the...
The Cyber-Enhanced Working Dog (CEWD) project is the brainchild of David Roberts and Alper Bozkurt, both professors at North Carolina State University. It might sound like something from “Terminator,” but the dogs aren’t getting super-strength or...
Not quite sure what your goldendoodle means when she barks? A new, tech-laden harness could change that. Researchers at North Carolina State University have developed a prototype of a harness to allow dogs and people to communicate more seamlessly.
The new research out of N.C. State, published in the online Journal of Visualized Experiments (JoVE), proposes a new method for attaching electrodes to a moth during its pupal stage, in the cocoon.
All the referees can do is pull people off and look at where the ball is, though there is no idea if that’s where it was when his knee touched the ground. A Disney Research team, in collaboration from NC State and Carnegie-Mellon, developed a system that can...
