Recent technological advances have opened new possibilities for the development of assistive and medical tools, including prosthetic limbs. While these limbs used to be hard objects with the same shape as limbs, prosthetics are now softer and look more realistic, with...
The electronics industry has been rapidly advancing over the past few decades, leading to the development of countless devices of different sizes and shapes, which are designed for a variety of applications.
Recent advances in robotics and artificial intelligence (AI) are enabling the development of a wide range of systems with unique characteristics designed for varying real-world applications. These include robots that can engage in activities traditionally only...
As artificial intelligence models become increasingly advanced, electronics engineers have been trying to develop new hardware that is better suited for running these models, while also limiting power-consumption and boosting the speed at which they process data. Some...
Over the past few years, photovoltaic (PV) technologies have become increasingly widespread, contributing to the ongoing quest to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. While most solar cells on the market today are made of silicon, other materials are emerging as promising...
Recent technological advances have enabled the development of increasingly sophisticated and energy-efficient displays for electronic devices. To further improve existing displays and create even more efficient ones, some engineers have been trying to synthesize and...
In recent years, electronics engineers worldwide have been trying to develop new hardware that could further boost the speed and efficiency of wireless communications. Digitally programmable metasurfaces, advanced artificial materials engineered to manipulate the...
Over the past decades, robotic systems have been rapidly advancing, fueled by the continuous introduction of more advanced electronics, mechanical components and software solutions. As a result, robots can easily become obsolete and outdated as newer systems emerge.
Conventional electronics based on silicon are approaching their limits in terms of performance and scalability. In recent years, engineers have thus been trying to introduce alternative designs that could help reduce the size of electronic components while also...
Researchers at the University of California- Los Angeles (UCLA) have recently developed TeamCraft, a new open-world environment for the training and evaluation of algorithms for embodied artificial intelligence (AI) agents, including teams of multiple robots. This...
