The rapid growth of AI brings hope of unprecedented advancements in many sectors but what is its real carbon footprint?
Intelligent Systems and Robotics
Butterflies inspire magnetic robots that fly more efficiently
Monarch butterflies have inspired the design of 3D-printed robotic wings that rely on magnetic fields to generate their delicate movements.
How do we balance the risks and rewards of using AI in the lab?
AI might be fast and efficient, but scientists still don’t know whether integrating it with cloud-based labs will be worth the rewards.
Autonomous robot swarms come together to perform a variety of missions
Researchers have developed an optimization program to design the behavior of small e-puck robots to allow them to work in unison.
Dung beetles inspire a new generation of robot
Robots modelled after dung beetles leverage nature’s ingenuity with efficient, space-saving object-rolling mechanics.
A robot made from radish sprouts and the rise of plant-based machines
Radish sprouts power a new wave of eco-friendly robots that move, grow, and could even be eaten after their work is done.
Remote-controlled robot is changing the game for endoscopes
A new teleoperated robot makes it possible to perform endoscopes remotely, making the procedure available in underserviced regions.
AI and robotics join forces to revamp how medications are made
Scientists are speeding up drug formulation to breath new life into old medications and reduce risk of clinical trial failure.
AI lie detectors lead people to make more false accusations, study finds
Participants with lie-detecting AI were more likely to trust it, more readily agreeing when it falsely labeled something a lie.
New AI tech predicts rare epileptic seizures
Preventing sudden and unexpected death hinges on accurately predicting the onset of epileptic seizures, even those with the rarest occurrences.
