Henan University of Technology researchers report on the development of a lightweight lattice-based limb design for a bionic robot. Lightweight structures that can withstand high loads and torsion are in demand in a range of industries such as aerospace, shipbuilding, and robotics. Experimental thin-walled structures, honeycomb cores and lattice frameworks are being tested in search of a new generation of material forms.Henan University of Technology researchers report on the development of a lightweight lattice-based limb design for a bionic robot.

An international team of researchers has put forward a framework that it argues can be used to answer one of the biggest questions facing artificial intelligence (AI) technologies: can AI be trusted? The framework offers an organized approach for tackling a complex subject that draws on a wide variety of research disciplines.An international team of researchers has put forward a framework that it argues can be used to answer one of the biggest questions facing artificial intelligence (AI) technologies: can AI be trusted?

A novel algorithmic system that works subtly in the background to mutual benefit, and adapts quickly to local conditions, could be useful in data processing where noise terms can be replaced with useful estimates of their values.A novel algorithmic system that works subtly in the background to mutual benefit, and adapts quickly to local conditions, could be useful in data processing where noise terms can be replaced with useful estimates of their values.[#item_full_content]
Earlier this month, when OpenAI released its latest flagship artificial intelligence (AI) system, GPT-5, the company said it was “much smarter across the board” than earlier models. Backing up the claim were high scores on a range of benchmark tests assessing domains such as software coding, mathematics and health care.Earlier this month, when OpenAI released its latest flagship artificial intelligence (AI) system, GPT-5, the company said it was “much smarter across the board” than earlier models.
