This 'Squidbot' Jets Around and Takes Pics of Coral and Fish

Engineers have built a squid-like robot that can swim untethered, propelling itself by generating jets of water. The robot carries its own power source inside its body. It can also carry a sensor, ...

Engineers Imitate Human Hands to Make Better Sensors

An international research team has developed 'electronic skin' sensors capable of mimicking the dynamic process of human motion. This work could help severely injured people, such as soldiers, regain ...

Future Autonomous Machines May Build Trust Through Emotion

Research has extended the state-of-the-art in autonomy by providing a more complete picture of how actions and nonverbal signals contribute to promoting cooperation. Researchers suggested guidelines ...

Artificial Intelligence Aids Gene Activation Discovery

Scientists have long known that human genes are activated through instructions delivered by the precise order of our DNA. With the aid of artificial intelligence, researchers have solved a ...

Applying Artificial Intelligence to Science Education

A new review highlights the potential of machine learning--a subset of artificial intelligence -- in science ...

How Mobile Apps Grab Our Attention

Researchers have done the first empirical study on how users pay visual attention to mobile app ...

Autonomous Robot Plays With NanoLEGO

Atoms and molecules behave in a completely different way to macroscopic objects and each brick requires its own 'instruction manual'. Scientists have now developed an artificial ...

Miniature Antenna Enables Robotic Teaming in Complex Environments

A new, miniature, low-frequency antenna with enhanced bandwidth will enable robust networking among compact, mobile robots in complex ...

An Embedded Ethics Approach for AI Development

The increasing use of AI (artificial intelligence) in the development of new medical technologies demands greater attention to ethical aspects. An interdisciplinary team advocates the integration of ...

New Electronic Skin Can React to Pain Like Human Skin

New pain-sensing prototype mimics the body's near-instant feedback response and reacts to painful sensations with the same lighting speed that nerve signals travel to the brain. It's a ...

One of the biggest impediments to adoption of new technologies is trust in artificial intelligence (AI). Now, a new tool generates automatic indicators if data and predictions generated by AI ...

Don't Forget to Clean Robotic Support Pets, Study Says

Robotic support pets used to reduce depression in older adults and people with dementia acquire bacteria over time, but a simple cleaning procedure can help them from spreading illnesses, according ...

Microscopic Robots 'Walk' Thanks to Laser Tech

A collaboration has created the first microscopic robots that incorporate semiconductor components, allowing them to be controlled - and made to walk - with standard electronic ...

Cutting Surgical Robots Down to Size

Teleoperated surgical robots are becoming commonplace in operating rooms, but many are massive (sometimes taking up an entire room) and difficult to manipulate. Medical researchers and engineers have ...

Beam Me Up: Researchers Use 'Behavioral Teleporting' to Study Social Interactions

Researchers have devised a novel approach to getting physically separated fish to interact with each other, leading to insights about what kinds of cues influence social ...

Robo-Teammate Can Detect, Share 3D Changes in Real-Time

Something is different, and you can't quite put your finger on it. But your robot ...

Deep Learning Will Help Future Mars Rovers Go Farther, Faster, and Do More Science

NASA JPL are developing autonomous capabilities that could allow future Mars rovers to go farther, faster and do more science. Training machine learning models on the Maverick2, their team developed ...

Understanding the Inner Workings of the Human Heart

Researchers used artificial intelligence and genetic analyses to examine the structure of the inner surface of the heart using 25,000 MRI scans. They found that the complex network of muscle fibers ...

'Cyborg' Technology Could Enable New Diagnostics, Merger of Humans and AI

Although true 'cyborgs' are science fiction, researchers are moving toward integrating electronics with the body. Such devices could monitor tumors or replace damaged tissues. But ...

An AI Algorithm to Help Identify Homeless Youth at Risk of Substance Abuse

While many programs and initiatives have been implemented to address the prevalence of substance abuse among homeless youth in the United States, they don't always include data-driven insights ...

Sounds of Action: Using Ears, Not Just Eyes, Improves Robot Perception

People rarely use just one sense to understand the world, but robots usually only rely on vision and, increasingly, touch. Researchers find that robot perception could improve markedly by adding ...

AI System for High Precision Recognition of Hand Gestures

Scientists have developed an Artificial Intelligence (AI) system that recognises hand gestures by combining skin-like electronics with computer ...

Soldiers Could Teach Future Robots How to Outperform Humans

Researchers have designed an algorithm that allows an autonomous ground vehicle to improve its existing navigation systems by watching a human ...
