Researchers from MIT and Google Brain discover how to use deep learning to decipher ancient languages. The technique can be used to decode languages that died long ago.
Using artificial evolution to design bespoke surgical snakebots
MIT researchers have assembled microrobots from a small set of standardized components, as a step toward self-replicating systems.
The Aigamo robot is named after the breed of duck used in the modern version of this ancient practice. (You can read more about how rice and duck farming has evolved in modern Japan here.) The robot weighs 1.5 kilograms and is about the size of a large robot vacuum cleaner.
MIT researchers’ probabilistic programming system, Gen, is making it easier for novices to get their feet wet with artificial intelligence, while also helping experts advance the field.
this prototype device will allow researchers to perform sophisticated liquid chemical analysis across a variety of compounds and without the need for complex lab equipment. Electrochemical sensors
Alan Turing, whose work lay the groundwork for the modern computer, will be the face of the UK’s new £50 note. The new £50 is the latest British banknote to be issued with a new longer-lasting polymer construction.
Connected Robotics, which offers service and cooking robots, has raised funding to expand its sales and marketing teams, as well as develop technologies.
A MIT-developed system automatically designs and 3-D prints complex robotic parts called actuators, voxel by voxel, that are optimized according to an enormous number of specifications that are virtually impossible for humans to do manually for biomimicry and other applications.
Most attempts at giving robots muscles tend to be heavy, slow or both. Scientists might finally have a solution that's both light and nimble, though.
Roboticist Ayanna Howard explains what inspired her to work on assistive technologies for kids
Robotic delivery and distribution systems are being developed all the time, but one company is launching a new robotics-powered grocery store and delivery service in Tel Aviv that could be a game-changer for mid-to-large-sized grocery chains and might just break the traditional distribution model.
Researchers can use the 64-chip Pohoiki Beach system to make systems that learn and see the world more like humans
Flybotix's drone is designed for tricky inspections and search and rescue work.
Intuitive Surgical, the pioneer of robotic-assisted, minimally invasive surgery, has acquired Denzlingen, Germany-based Schölly Fiberoptic‘s robotic endoscope business.
If you've ever looked at astronauts bouncing on the moon and thought that looked a great way to get around, you're not the only one. The European Space Agency has created SpaceBok, a robot for low-gravity "dynamic walking". On the moon, SpaceBok could potentially jump as high as six and a half into ...
Say hello to your robo butler!
Humans may not be doomed at soccer quite yet
Identifying a patient’s viral infection or diagnosing a blood disorder usually requires a lab and skilled technicians. Now researchers have developed a new technology that goes a long way toward replacing the lab with a single microchip.
Using the fossil and fossilized footprints of a 300-million-year-old animal, an interdisciplinary team has developed a method for identifying the most likely gaits of extinct animals and designed a robot that can recreate their walk.
This week marks the 50th anniversary of Apollo 11, when humans walked on the Moon. Robots played a large part in that, as well as continuing space missions.
Miniature surgical robots that are unique to the individual patient’s anatomy are being created by Australian researchers.
Amazon is still working on a home robot, according to a new report from Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, and it’s now also planning to add a high-end Echo to its lineup of Alexa devices. Prototypes of the wheeled robot can reportedly be summoned using voice commands. The high-end Echo is apparently slated t...
