Aiming to stay ahead in the robotics game, Tesla is constantly fine-tuning the new generation of its general-purpose, bi-pedal, humanoid robot Optimus. The Optimus can now navigate uneven terrain with advanced neural nets, enabling precise control of its ...

A review paper by scientists at the Beijing Institute of Technology summarized recent efforts and future potentials in the use of in vitro biological neural networks (BNNs) for the realization of biological intelligence, with a focus on those related to ...

For a Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship project, Carnegie Mellon University sophomore Jasmine Li worked with robotic arms in the Robotic Caregiving and Human Interaction Lab to analyze the robot's behaviors in both simulations and real-world tasks in order to study how robots fail when imitating complex human activities,

A humanoid robot can predict whether someone will smile a second before they do, and match the smile on its own face. The creators hope the technology could make interactions with robots more lifelike. Now, Hod Lipson at Columbia University in New York and ...

A research article by scientists at the Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics developed a neural control algorithm to coordinate the adhesive toes and limbs of the climbing robot. The new research article, published in the journal Cyborg and ...

A man operating a Unitree robot inadvertently caused it to kick him in the groin, highlighting both the potential and risks of advanced robotics.

“Neural networks are currently the most powerful tools in artificial intelligence,” said Sebastian Wetzel, a researcher at the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics. “When we scale them up to larger data sets, nothing can compete.” And yet ...
