Researchers are using generative AI and other techniques to teach robots new skills—including tasks they could perform in homes. Silent. Rigid. Clumsy. Henry and Jane Evans are used to awkward ...
NOT that we’re looking to alarm you or anything but scientists have discovered that xenobots – synthetic lifeforms – have learned to reproduce. According to New Scientist, “swarms of tiny ...
Hey, what if you could have a factory that makes robots that is run by… robots? This is hardly an original thought, but we are a long way from having an assembly line of C3POs self-replicating.
We've all seen household robots in movies and TV shows, performing tasks ranging from simple cleanup to complex problem-solving, often equipped with a kind of "common sense" that makes them seem ...
As technology continues to advance, scientists and engineers are constantly searching for more efficient and effective ways to create new materials and devices. One increasingly popular method is self ...
