Built from flexible, compliant materials, soft robots are gaining relevance for tasks ranging from minimally invasive surgery to deep-sea exploration but remain held back by a fundamental constraint. To sense their surroundings and react, most soft robots rely on separate electronic sensors, signal-processing circuits and powered actuators, all coordinated by computers. This chain of components adds weight, complexity and points of failure, particularly in wet, hot or high-pressure settings where electronics are highly susceptible to disruption.Built from flexible, compliant materials, soft robots are gaining relevance for tasks ranging from minimally invasive surgery to deep-sea exploration but remain held back by a fundamental constraint.

As technology advances, more is expected from humanoid robots. What were once seen as gimmicks that could walk, if not like us, then close to it, are now pulling their weight and doing more work in places like factories. They are being developed for real work, such as carrying heavy boxes, pushing furniture, pulling heavy objects and wiping tables.As technology advances, more is expected from humanoid robots.

The brain’s cerebellum doesn’t waste energy analyzing every moment. Instead, it constantly monitors the world for the unexpected—and springs into action only when something suddenly changes.The brain’s cerebellum doesn’t waste energy analyzing every moment.

Neural networks, a fascinating technology inspired by the human brain, form the basis of artificial intelligence. These networks consist of layers of interconnected nodes, or artificial neurons, that learn patterns from data and make predictions. For example, large language models generate text by predicting the next word or phrase based on the words that came before it.Neural networks, a fascinating technology inspired by the human brain, form the basis of artificial intelligence.

Companies are increasingly using artificial intelligence in their hiring processes. It’s not just CVs that are evaluated automatically. AI tools can also conduct job interviews—usually in the form of avatars, which are animated characters—and make hiring decisions. An important reason for this, aside from saving time, is that AI is said to be less biased than humans.Companies are increasingly using artificial intelligence in their hiring processes.
