Most people do not imagine robots wearing knitted sweaters, but this could become a reality in the future. The reason is certainly not because the robots feel cold, but the special fabric may help them “feel” the touch of a human hand for example, and also the grip pressure. An engineering team at Carnegie Mellon […]
A large language model (LLM) has been successfully used by researchers at Princeton University’s School of Engineering to assist a robotic manipulator in understanding commands to organize a room. Manipulators, or robotic arms, are excellent at carrying out specified duties. The manipulator can assemble machine parts, paint cars, and even carve sculptures in a factory […]
One of the (at least) 83 moons that surround Saturn, is among the best candidates for finding life beyond Earth. In an attempt to find out, NASA scientists aim to deploy a big serpentine robot to search Enceladus, both above and below its icy surface—possibly even within a hidden ocean beneath. Exobiology Extant Life Surveyor […]
Recently, a group of engineers gave a Boston Dynamics robot dog voice modulation from Google’s Text-to-Speech and OpenAI’s ChatGPT so that it could converse with them and respond to their inquiries. In a video uploaded to Twitter, machine learning expert Santiago Valdarrama demonstrated how he and a coworker used OpenAI’s hugely popular application to train […]
In the natural world, the majority of living beings reproduce through sexual reproduction or asexual reproduction via cloning. However, a novel method of propagation has emerged where newly developed autonomous robots are capable of self-replication by forming cell clusters and generating new replicas of themselves. To further explain, the Xenobots are a type of man-made […]
Exploring Mars is a challenging task. Getting there is a difficult task itself, but traveling on the surface of the Red Planet is tricky as well because of the many craters and boulders. So what if we sent lizard-like robots instead of rovers? Researchers from Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics (NUAA) created such a […]
Atlas, the humanoid robot the is being developed by Boston Dynamics, has learned even more astonishing new skills. The robot manufacturing company published a film titled “Atlas Gets a Grip,” in which the parkour expert demonstrated its problem-solving abilities. In it, the robot easily maneuvers around a mock-up building site and even throws a bag […]
