Robotic telekinesis: Allowing humans to remotely operate and train robotic hands
Over the past few decades, computer scientists have developed increasingly advanced techniques to train and operate robots. Collectively, these methods could facilitate the integration of robotic...
An approach to rapidly and efficiently improve the locomotion of legged robots
In recent years, roboticists have developed mobile robots with a wide range of anatomies and capabilities. A class of robotic systems that has been found to be particularly promising for navigating...
Study finds that mice can alternate between different perceptual decision-making strategies
Classical psychological theories suggest that humans and animals consistently employ a single strategy when making decisions. Some models, on the other hand, assume that preferred decision-making...
Study highlights the potential of neuromorphic architectures to perform random walk computations
Over the past decade or so, many researchers worldwide have been trying to develop brain-inspired computer systems, also known as neuromorphic computing tools. The majority of these systems are...
The IceCube Collaboration sets the most restrictive constraints on relic magnetic monopoles from the early universe
Recent technological advances have enabled the development of increasingly advanced telescope and astrophysical instruments. This includes the IceCube telescope, which was originally built to detect...
Study unveils new protein-related changes in the brain of patients with Alzheimer’s disease
Researchers at Emory University School of Medicine have recently carried out a large-scale analysis of the brains of patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD). Their findings, published in Nature...
AAC Exclusive: A Chat With IBM Researchers Who Built the New “VTFET” Transistor
In December, IBM and Samsung announced a new transistor architecture said to defy conventional FinFETs. We spoke with two of IBM's leading researchers on this project for details.
Retina-inspired sensors for more adaptive visual perception
To monitor and navigate real-world environments, machines and robots should be able to gather images and measurements under different background lighting conditions. In recent years, engineers...
RoboKrill: A crustacean-inspired swimming robot for marine exploration
To better understand seas and oceans on Earth, their processes, and the living organisms inhabiting them, scientists must be able to explore them and collect data underwater. In recent years,...
Researchers enhance human-robot interaction by merging mixed reality and robotics
Over the past decades, engineers have created devices with increasingly advanced functions and capabilities. A device capability that was substantially improved in recent years is known as "spatial...
