Researchers have made groundbreaking advancements in the field of soft robotics by developing film-balloon (FiBa) soft robots. These innovative robots, designed by a team led by Dr. Terry Ching and corresponding author Professor Michinao Hashimoto, introduce a novel fabrication approach that enables lightweight, untethered operation with advanced biomimetic locomotion capabilities.Researchers have made groundbreaking advancements in the field of soft robotics by developing film-balloon (FiBa) soft robots.

In Diplomacy, a strategy game set on the eve of World War I, success hinges not on luck but the ability to negotiate. Players, each representing the armed forces of a European superpower, spend much of their time building trust, forming alliances, and ultimately betraying opponents to gain the most territory. “The most skillful negotiator will climb to victory,” said the game’s maker, the company Avalon Hill.In Diplomacy, a strategy game set on the eve of World War I, success hinges not on luck but the ability to negotiate.

A new algorithm may make robots safer by making them more aware of human inattentiveness. In computerized simulations of packaging and assembly lines where humans and robots work together, the algorithm developed to account for human carelessness improved safety by about a maximum of 80% and efficiency by about a maximum of 38% compared to existing methods.A new algorithm may make robots safer by making them more aware of human inattentiveness.

From Lauri Moore to Vic Singh, venture capitalists continue to play musical chairs
When Keith Rabois announced he was leaving Founders Fund to return to Khosla Ventures in January, it came as a shock to many in the venture capital ecosystem — and not just because Rabois is a big name in the industry. It was surprising because unlike in many other fields, venture capitalists don’t traditionally move […]
