Squishy Robotics’ tensegrity sensor robots help first responders determine their approach to a disaster scene. Pictured here during a subway attack scenario exercise at the 2021 Unmanned Tactical Application Conference, the robots can detect gas…

Everyone has experienced the frustration of misplacing their phone at some point. Fortunately, a new robot is here to lend a hand. New “artificial memory” enables robots to help find misplaced items. Engineers from the…

This image shows how the algorithm the researchers’ developed can align two shapes by mapping the volume of one shape, in this case a horse, onto another shape, a cow. Their system represents each shape…

Researchers from MIT and Rice University have developed a computer vision system called ORCa (Objects as Radiance-Field Cameras), that uses AI to turn any shiny object into a camera by mapping reflections off its surface….

Researchers at NYU Abu Dhabi have developed an ingestible electroceutical device, called the FLASH system, that modulates the gut-brain axis, affecting hunger levels and potentially treating a range of disorders. Inspired by the Australian thorny…

Georgia Tech researchers are investigating the impact of intentional robot deception on human trust and the effectiveness of various apology types in restoring it, with an unexpected outcome suggesting that apologies without admission of lying…

Solid-state batteries could offer many advantages in the future, including for the use in electrically powered cars. Credit: Xue Zhang / MPI-P Groundbreaking research has the potential to pave the way for batteries with significantly…

Machine-learning models designed to mimic human decision-making often make different, and sometimes harsher, judgments than humans due to being trained on the wrong type of data, according to researchers from MIT and other institutions. The…
