Researchers have developed an artificial intelligence (AI) tool that will help predict endangered whale habitat, guiding ships along the Atlantic coast to avoid them. The tool is designed to prevent deadly accidents and inform conservation strategies and responsible ocean development.
A new type of soft robot can crawl like a worm, climb cables, and suddenly snap into a completely different shape to move in a new direction—all controlled by a single air input. This breakthrough, developed by researchers at Seoul National University, introduces a fundamentally new way for soft robots to move and adapt to their surroundings. The work is published in the journal Cell Reports Physical Science.
While robotics have been a staple in the automotive manufacturing industry for decades, the applications have now spread far beyond, reshaping industries from agriculture to healthcare and service industries.
Steam’s Stance on Advertising: A Clear-Cut Policy Valve has taken a firm stance against in-game advertising models that force players to watch ads before accessing gameplay. While product placements and cross-promotions remain permitted, the gaming giant has explicitly prohibited pay-to-watch ad mechanics, reinforcing its commitment to a seamless player experience. In a move that many...

Researchers have developed a new AI algorithm, called Torque Clustering, that significantly improves how AI systems independently learn and uncover patterns in data, without human guidance.
While exploring how best to design robots that use tails to reorient their bodies in midair, a team of researchers at the University of Michigan and University of California San Diego found that mammals had already figured out how to do more with less.
A team of engineers at Westlake University, Zhejiang Normal University and Shaoxing University, all in China, has tested the possibility of making some robot parts biodegradable. In their project, published in the journal Science Advances, the group made some robot components using cotton cellulose films and pork gelatin.
A study showed that chatbots alone outperformed doctors when making nuanced clinical decisions, but when supported by artificial intelligence, doctors performed as well as the chatbots.
Artificial Intelligence of Things (AIoT) is becoming immensely popular because of its widespread applications. In a groundbreaking study, researchers present a new AIoT framework called MSF-Net for accurately recognizing human activities using WiFi signals. The framework utilizes a novel approach that combines different signal processing techniques and a deep learning architecture to overcome challenges like environmental interference and achieve high recognition accuracy.
Psychologists warn that AI's perceived lack of human experience and genuine understanding may limit its acceptance to make higher-stakes moral decisions.
Imagine a swarm of tiny robots, each about the size of the palm of your hand, spreading out over a wildfire-ravaged community, mapping areas contaminated by toxic materials, searching for survivors, identifying areas of rapid wildfire spread. Or picture the robots being used to clear battlefields of mines, conduct search and rescue missions after earthquakes, or deployed on farms to fend against pests and track soil conditions.
More than 2 million adults living in the United States rely on a caregiver's assistance to eat daily meals. In addition to human caregivers, technology has been developed to provide assistance. For example, tabletop and wheelchair-mounted robotic arms have been programmed to pick up foods and bring them to the human operator.
This groundbreaking technology is designed to revolutionize the inspection and maintenance of high- voltage power lines, by offering advanced, non-contact measurement solutions.
A team of engineers at Apple Computer has developed an expressive table lamp that interacts with a user rather than simply carrying out instructions. The group has posted a paper on the arXiv preprint server describing the factors that went into the development of the lamp and its current features. They have also posted several videos showing the robot lamp in action.
