This is the fifth straight year the school has hosted the event, attracting more than 80 elementary and middle schools from ...

The breakthrough builds on neuromorphic engineering, a field that designs hardware modeled after the human brain. Unlike traditional processors, which separate memory and computation, neuromorphic ...

Outside of tightly controlled environments, most robotic systems still struggle with reliability, generalization and cost. The gap between what we can demonstrate and what we can operate at scale ...

American companies are staging boxing matches with VR-controlled Chinese humanoids to enthusiastic fans. A researcher says it ...

A child with a new cochlear implant works on auditory rehabilitation exercises at home in Toulouse, France, aided by Pepper, ...

In the software realm, agentic AI models, platforms that can serve as assistants for researchers, also stood out. Executives ...

Retinal vein occlusion (RVO) is a severe disease that occurs when a vein in the light-sensitive layer at the back of the eye (i.e., the retina) becomes blocked, which results in a loss of vision.

A new robot not only sports that feature, but it can actually train itself to speak like a person. Developed by robotics PhD student Yuhang Hu, Prof. Hod Lipson and colleagues at Columbia University, ...

Researchers have created microscopic robots so small they’re barely visible, yet smart enough to sense, decide, and move completely on their own. Powered by light and equipped with tiny computers, the ...

Humans are desperate to put the robots to work. The only problem is, the robots don’t “work” to any degree. These humanoid bots are interesting. Some are even cute. Few, if any, are anywhere close to ...

In robotics, as in so many things, small is beautiful. The trouble is that making them really small is very nearly impossible. “Building robots that operate independently at sizes below one millimeter ...

Robots that use artificial intelligence to work independently are becoming more common. Different types of AI drive this trend: Analytical AI helps to process large datasets, detect patterns, and ...
