Researchers from Taiwan and Japan have developed a low-cost, intelligent soft robotic finger using paper electronics.
Intelligent Systems and Robotics
Microrobots show their true colors
Using a micro-3D-printing technique, researchers were able to print detailed robotic parts that are smaller than the diameter of a human hair and display color-expressing features for microrobot tracking and identification.
Scientists create supervised randomness to mimic our own neural network
Controlling the probability of a series of seemingly random events is the key to mimicking the human brain to optimize neuromorphic learning.
The soft touch of intelligent, robotic systems
A new, flexible, and self-powered sensor made by magnetoelectric materials can convert mechanical stimuli to electrical signals for robots with a “soft touch”.
Creating versatile artificial muscles for life-like robots
To mimic the fluid and versatile movement of soft-bodied animals, soft robots require their own “muscles” to function.
Vulnerable robots change the social dynamics of a group
Hello HAL, do you read me HAL?
Prof-Bot: The autonomous chemistry professor
Will artificial intelligence expand and enhance its teaching prowess to the point where it can replace the professor in his or her traditional role?
A new material for thermal camouflage
Masking heat signatures from prying eyes, researchers develop a new material that functions as a cloaking device.
A resilient robotic bug
Researchers at Dartmouth have developed a miniature robotic bug that has a flexible body, is easily maneuverable, and can be completely flattened without damaging its functionality.
Autonomous chemical synthesis
AI is being leveraged to provide machines with the capacity to match or even outperform humans in many endeavors. So what does this mean for the synthetic chemist?
