The technology behind ChatGPT could help put humanoid robots in homes and workplaces.
Disabled people are experts in using – and designing – assistive technologies. They have lessons to offer everyone about keeping control when help is offered.
New research has found that the two ‘fingers’ on the tip of an elephant’s trunk exert different forces. The finding will be used to improve the abilities of bio-inspired robots.
Stereotypes can creep in if ‘culturally sensitive’ robots are not designed with great care.
‘Loopy’ is a multicellular robot inspired by biology and designed to react to its environment without instructions on how to do so.
Robots often have a hard time navigating through debris, but robots designed based on worms and snakes could move around obstacles faster, thanks to an idea called mechanical intelligence.
Cotton is one of the world’s largest crops and is harvested with large, heavy machines. Robotic harvesting could yield higher-quality cotton with less damage to plants and soil.
Humanoid robots tend to be white or resemble white people. Here’s why this is a problem and what social scientists, designers and engineers can do about it.
Social robots can be useful tools to help students learn about programming, but here’s why they won’t be replacing classroom teachers anytime soon.
AI could take us beyond the concept of smart cities, telling us how and why things happen in urban settings.
Two EU-funded projects are looking at high-tech solutions that could transform honeybee colonies into bio-hybrid entities.
A study found that adding legs does more for you than having a good sense of the ground around you − if you’re a mobile robot.
Asking users the dollar value of the costs and benefits of walking in exoskeletons is a better way of finding out how users feel about them than measuring calories saved.
Dramatic improvements in computing, sensors and submersible engineering are making it possible for researchers to ramp up data collection from the oceans while also keeping people out of harm’s way.
AI is definitely going to change the workplace, but don’t get too worried about your job.
Robots and AI could transform our lives, so we must decide how we want to use them.
Robots are already carrying out tasks in clinics, classrooms and warehouses. Designing robots that are more receptive to human needs could help make them more useful in many contexts.
With Amazon facing worker battles in the UK, US and Germany, no wonder people worry about how technology is changing workplaces.
If we’re going to put an AI brain somewhere, it’s likely going to be a robot. The next step – making that robot immortal.
