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 ...
We love robots but do we appreciate how much work goes into creating them? We may admire their shell and internal wiring, but we tend to forget that each robot has to be meticulously designed — often ...
HybridLeg robots Olaf and Snogie use impact-safe design and self-recovery to enable scalable, real-world hardware ...
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 ...
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 ...
