Researchers have found that giving AI “peers” in virtual reality (VR) a body that can interact with the virtual environment can help students learn programming. Specifically, the researchers found students were more willing to accept these “embodied” AI peers as partners, compared to voice-only AI, helping the students better engage with the learning experience.Researchers have found that giving AI “peers” in virtual reality (VR) a body that can interact with the virtual environment can help students learn programming.

Researchers at the University of Osaka have developed a mechanism that allows spoken dialog systems to learn new words through conversation without overwhelming users with repetitive questions. By optimizing when to ask a question using reinforcement learning, the system can achieve efficient knowledge acquisition with minimal interruptions.Researchers at the University of Osaka have developed a mechanism that allows spoken dialog systems to learn new words through conversation without overwhelming users with repetitive questions.

Like octopuses squeezing through a tiny sea cave, metatruss robots can adapt to demanding environments by changing their shape. These mighty morphing robots are made of trusses composed of hundreds of beams and joints that rotate and twist, enabling astonishing volumetric transformations.Like octopuses squeezing through a tiny sea cave, metatruss robots can adapt to demanding environments by changing their shape.
