In its decades-long quest to mimic life, robotics has never had much trouble duplicating its brute force. Machines have long been capable of moving vehicles, assembling chips, and reaching the far ...

Engineers at MIT have devised an ingenious new way to produce artificial muscles for soft robots that can flex in more than one direction, similar to the complex muscles in the human body. The team ...

The future is limitless for seven-year-old Jules Zion.

Researchers have developed a new algorithm called cuTAMP to accelerate robot task and motion planning (TAMP). TAMP involves generating a high-level task plan—a sequence of actions—and a corresponding ...

As technology improves, researchers slowly bridge the gap between prosthetics and human limbs: Scientists have developed a prosthetic hand that lets users feel temperatures and bionic legs that move ...

AI success depends on whether enterprise data is ready, reachable, and close enough to the workloads that need it. In this eSpeaks episode, Dell Technologies’ Vrashank Jain explains why fragmented ...

A new study out of MIT has created an autonomously functioning robot that can act like a lab technician to test materials, in particular for the properties needed to make solar cells. It can collect ...
