Roboticists develop a bird-like robot that can jump into the air to launch itself into flight
A team of roboticists at École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne, working with a colleague from the University of California, has designed, built and demonstrated a bird-like robot that can launch itself into flight using spring-like legs.
Stretch and Spot: Increasing Operational Efficiency and Making Warehouse Work Safer
Stretch currently unloads boxes autonomously at the Hermes Fulfillment center, while Spot supports predictive maintenance by inspecting fire exits and structural changes and detecting air and gas leaks.
Helping robots make good decisions in real time
An innovative algorithm called Spectral Expansion Tree Search helps autonomous robotic systems make optimal choices on the move.
A single algorithm can help robots make good decisions in real time
In 2018, Google DeepMind's AlphaZero program taught itself the games of chess, shogi, and Go using machine learning and a special algorithm to determine the best moves to win a game within a defined grid. Now, a team of Caltech researchers has developed an analogous algorithm for autonomous robots—a planning and decision-making control system that helps freely moving robots determine the best movements to make as they navigate the real world.
Manta rays inspire fast swimming soft robot yet
A team of researchers has beaten its own record for the fastest swimming soft robot, drawing inspiration from manta rays to improve their ability to control the robot's movement in the water.
A Tragic Loss: The Brazen Killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson and Its Broader Implications
A Shock to Corporate America The sudden and violent death of Brian Thompson, CEO of UnitedHealthcare, has shaken both the business world and the public. Thompson, a seasoned leader of one of the largest private health insurers in the U.S., was shot in a targeted attack outside the Hilton hotel in midtown Manhattan. The incident,...
