For robots to be successfully introduced in a wider range of real-world settings, they should be able to safely and reliably navigate rapidly changing environments. While roboticists and computer scientists have introduced a wide range of computational techniques for robot navigation over the past decades, many of them were found to perform poorly in environments that are dynamic, cluttered or characterized by narrow pathways.For robots to be successfully introduced in a wider range of real-world settings, they should be able to safely and reliably navigate rapidly changing environments.

There are deep age, gender, occupation, and class-based social divides in how people use generative AI applications—such as ChatGPT—and how they perceive their impact on job security, new research shows.There are deep age, gender, occupation, and class-based social divides in how people use generative AI applications—such as ChatGPT—and how they perceive their impact on job security, new research shows.Business[#item_full_content]
Self-disclosure, or the process of conveying one’s details to others verbally, is crucial for communication. Self-disclosure includes expressing personal information, thoughts, and feelings. It encompasses self-expression and clarification, social validation and control, as well as relationship development, and is closely related to reciprocity, intimacy, trust, interactional enjoyment, and satisfaction.Self-disclosure, or the process of conveying one’s details to others verbally, is crucial for communication.

Many industrial products—from car bumpers to aerospace panels and medical implants—owe their performance to lightweight, cellular materials. These hard-working synthetics are engineered to meet specific functionality goals, but too often, defects introduced during the fabrication process can lead to subpar performance or even catastrophic failure.Many industrial products—from car bumpers to aerospace panels and medical implants—owe their performance to lightweight, cellular materials.

A new slip-prevention method has been shown to improve how robots grip and handle fragile, slippery or asymmetric objects, according to a University of Surrey–led study published in Nature Machine Intelligence. The innovation could pave the way for safer, more reliable automation across industries ranging from manufacturing to health care.A new slip-prevention method has been shown to improve how robots grip and handle fragile, slippery or asymmetric objects, according to a University of Surrey–led study published in Nature Machine Intelligence.
