Evolution is a very slow process, due largely to the fact that nature doesn't "know" in advance which features of an animal will be beneficial. A new AI-based algorithm does know, however, allowing it ...

Researchers developed a deep learning neural network to aid the design of soft-bodied robots. The algorithm optimizes the arrangement of sensors on the robot, enabling it to complete tasks as ...

Harvard researchers created an algorithm that allows a wearable robot to adapt to and assist the arm movements of stroke and Lou Gehrig’s disease patients in real-time. The researchers’ machine ...

As the latest bit of evidence that humanity has learned nothing from the “Terminator” franchise, we present RoboGrammer — an AI algorithm that can design its own robot bodies. The MIT engineers tested ...

A team led by Northwestern Engineering researchers has developed the first artificial intelligence (AI) to date that can intelligently design robots from scratch. To test the new AI, the researchers ...

An innovative algorithm called Spectral Expansion Tree Search helps autonomous robotic systems make optimal choices on the move. In 2018, Google DeepMind's AlphaZero program taught itself the games of ...

Sam Kriegman, a professor at Northwestern's McCormick School of Engineering, is something of a local celebrity. He can often be found on television shows explaining the wonders of his new invention – ...

Skild AI Inc., a startup that develops artificial intelligence software for robots, has raised $1.4 billion from a group of ...

From household robots to reusable rockets, a new wave of breakthrough inventions is redefining what humans can do in space ...
