Scientists believe AI could provide F1 strategists with additional information to inform their decision-making during races—where quick decision-making based on data can improve performance on track. Dr. Antonio Rago, a lecturer in computer science at King’s who began the research with a research team at Imperial College London before joining King’s, said, “We discovered that AI models were able to not only replicate both strategy and tactics from the real world, but also that they outperformed existing race strategy optimization techniques in many cases.”Scientists believe AI could provide F1 strategists with additional information to inform their decision-making during races—where quick decision-making based on data can improve performance on track.

Robots with increasingly precise dexterity are becoming essential in everyday life and industrial settings, from assembling tiny smartphone components to assisting doctors in surgery. However, teaching robots delicate human movements has traditionally required collecting vast amounts of data at extremely fine time intervals, resulting in significant costs and time burdens.Robots with increasingly precise dexterity are becoming essential in everyday life and industrial settings, from assembling tiny smartphone components to assisting doctors in surgery.

A research team led by Sant’Anna School of Advanced Studies in Pisa, in collaboration with Cleveland Clinic, has uncovered new insight into how the brain senses movement. Their findings, published in Science Advances, could help improve sensation and movement for prosthetic limbs.A research team led by Sant’Anna School of Advanced Studies in Pisa, in collaboration with Cleveland Clinic, has uncovered new insight into how the brain senses movement.

More and more robots are assisting workers in factories. However, human-robot collaboration is still far from seamless. Researchers from Prof. Lorenzo Masia’s team at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) have now developed a solution that enables a factory worker wearing an exoskeleton to work closely and, above all, safely, with a robotic arm. This reduces the physical strain on workers and improves production processes.More and more robots are assisting workers in factories. However, human-robot collaboration is still far from seamless.

In 2022, global production of construction materials accounted for more than 7% of total carbon emissions. But how many of those materials were truly necessary to build houses, buildings and bridges?In 2022, global production of construction materials accounted for more than 7% of total carbon emissions.

Manufacturers have traditionally relied on sales figures to understand where they stand with consumers, but by the time those numbers arrive, consumers’ buying decisions have already been made. A study co-authored by UC Riverside business professor Hai Che offers a way to capture what consumers are thinking while they are still weighing options, comparing products and deciding whether to buy at all.Manufacturers have traditionally relied on sales figures to understand where they stand with consumers, but by the time those numbers arrive, consumers’ buying decisions have already been made.
