Visual Language Models Train Robots to Read Human Emotions

Researchers trained collaborative robots to read human emotions using a vision language model (VLM) that accounts for context, not just facial expressions. In experiments with 40 volunteers, the VLM matched human observers' emotion readings better than a conventional facial-analysis system. But the study found the emotional capabilities of robots only go so far: when a robot failed at its task, participants trusted it less regardless of how it apologized. The work, led by Seung Chan Hong at the University of Melbourne, was published 18 May in IEEE Robotics and Automation Letters.

Coinbase for Agents lets AI assistants trade crypto and move money

Coinbase launched Coinbase for Agents, a standalone account that lets AI agents trade cryptocurrency, pay for services, and operate with financial autonomy directly from assistants such as Claude and ChatGPT. Users connect an existing Coinbase account, set spending limits, and the agent transacts on their behalf, either from an isolated portfolio or the main balance. The product builds on Coinbase's 2024 AgentKit work and uses the x402 open standard for machine-to-machine payments, arriving as the company points to projections that agents could handle roughly 20% of e-commerce by 2030.

Calendly vs. Acuity: Which scheduling app should you use? [2026]

But while the two apps may look really similar at first glance, they each have their own strengths and targe

Historically, connecting data from y
