Researchers demonstrate learning behaviour in a solid-state device that is entirely controlled by electrical stimuli.
A robotic arm modeled after the human shoulder
Using soft materials, researchers have developed a robot arm that mimics the rotational movement and structure of the shoulder.
Crash-landing robots take inspiration from geckos
Insights gained from the hard landings of tree-climbing geckos leads to better and controlled perching in robotic aerial vehicles.
An artificial embryologist to improve the success of IVF
To help improve the success rates of fertility treatments, scientists are turning to AI to help standardize the sperm selection process.
Microrobots that conquer all terrains
Microrobots dubbed “microwalkers” can both swim and walk, allowing them to transverse challenging biological environments.
Composite materials illuminated with machine learning
Researchers take a different approach to machine learning to uncover the physics of optics in composite materials.
Machine learning by intuition
As machine learning gets better at deciphering our brain activity, the possible uses and misuses of this technology come into focus.
AI without computers
An AI made from plasma learns to play tic-tac-toe using varying and controllable mixtures of gases, in a major step forward.
Soft robot minimizes form and maximizes function
Complex environments require soft robots to adapt to minimal spaces without sacrificing the ability to complete dexterous tasks.
Robotic eyes unconstrained by human perception
Forcing robots to see through a human’s eyes is limiting. Smart robotic eyes that can think for themselves could be the answer.
