Over the past few decades, robotics researchers have developed a wide range of increasingly advanced robots that can autonomously complete various real-world tasks. To be successfully deployed in real-world settings, such as in public spaces, homes and office environments, these robots should be able to make sense of instructions provided by human users and adapt their actions accordingly.Over the past few decades, robotics researchers have developed a wide range of increasingly advanced robots that can autonomously complete various real-world tasks.

Researchers at Trinity have developed a new light-based technology on a tiny chip that could help make the data centers behind cloud computing, artificial intelligence, and global internet services faster and more efficient. In the new research, recently published in Nature Communications, the Trinity team reported one such promising advance with collaborators at the University of Bath and the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne (EPFL).Researchers at Trinity have developed a new light-based technology on a tiny chip that could help make the data centers behind cloud computing, artificial intelligence, and global internet services faster and more efficient.

When working on projects, architects must quickly turn rough concepts into visual representations. Text-to-image models offer an opportunity in this field, where high-quality designs can be generated simply by typing a description. Some of these systems can also incorporate rough sketches or depth information, offering additional control over the results.When working on projects, architects must quickly turn rough concepts into visual representations.

James Zou is a computer scientist at Stanford University who has been exploring how large language models (LLMs) can assist scientific peer review—and more broadly, how AI agents might accelerate research. It is a provocative topic in the scientific community and an important one to wrestle with as AI’s capabilities grow.James Zou is a computer scientist at Stanford University who has been exploring how large language models (LLMs) can assist scientific peer review—and more broadly, how AI agents might accelerate research.

A new study on how runners may choose to interact with self-driving cars is challenging assumptions on how automated vehicles will navigate safely on the roads of the future. Researchers at the University of Glasgow and KAIST in South Korea led the study, which used augmented reality tech to explore for the first time how runners’ behavior differs from walkers when they are crossing roads and junctions.A new study on how runners may choose to interact with self-driving cars is challenging assumptions on how automated vehicles will navigate safely on the roads of the future.

Q&A: Robots can’t feel, but novel sensors could change that
A research team, including Huanyu “Larry” Cheng, James L. Henderson Jr. Memorial Associate Professor of Engineering Science and Mechanics at Penn State, is using pressure sensors—tiny devices, roughly the size of a paperclip, that can measure the force applied over an area—to design a highly sensitive electronic “skin” to use alongside robots and prosthetic limbs.A research team, including Huanyu “Larry” Cheng, James L.

Nano- and microplastics are increasingly being detected in the human body. However, their detection remains challenging, often relying on invasive techniques and specialized equipment. Researchers at the Institute of Computer Science at the University of Tartu are developing a device that can measure plastic in the human body. Their research is published in the journal Proceedings of the 27th International Workshop on Mobile Computing Systems and Applications.Nano- and microplastics are increasingly being detected in the human body.
