Solving a Rubik’s Cube is a challenge for most people. For a team of students from Purdue University’s Elmore Family School of Electrical and Computer Engineering, it became an opportunity to redefine the limits of speed, precision and automation—and officially make history.Solving a Rubik’s Cube is a challenge for most people.

AI overconfidence mirrors a human language disorder

Agents, chatbots and other tools based on artificial intelligence (AI) are increasingly used in everyday life by many. So-called large language model (LLM)-based agents, such as ChatGPT and Llama, have become impressively fluent in the responses they form, but quite often provide convincing yet incorrect information.Agents, chatbots and other tools based on artificial intelligence (AI) are increasingly used in everyday life by many.

Whole-body teleoperation system allows robots to perform coordinated tasks with human-like dexterity

The ability to remotely control robots in real-time, also known as teleoperation, could be useful for a broad range of real-world applications. In recent years, some engineers have been trying to develop teleoperation systems that allow users to guide the actions of humanoid robots, which have a body structure resembling that of humans, getting the robots to precisely imitate their whole-body movements.The ability to remotely control robots in real-time, also known as teleoperation, could be useful for a broad range of real-world applications.

Energy and memory: A new neural network paradigm

Listen to the first notes of an old, beloved song. Can you name that tune? If you can, congratulations—it’s a triumph of your associative memory, in which one piece of information (the first few notes) triggers the memory of the entire pattern (the song), without you actually having to hear the rest of the song again. We use this handy neural mechanism to learn, remember, solve problems and generally navigate our reality.Listen to the first notes of an old, beloved song. Can you name that tune?

Unpacking Rippling vs Deel: corporate espionage and a $16.8B plot twist

Despite courtroom chaos, Rippling is still going full steam ahead. The HR tech startup at the center of an increasingly dramatic legal battle with rival Deel just raised a fresh $450 million in funding at a $16.8 billion valuation, and launched a new “Startup Stack” to woo early-stage companies — winning over Y Combinator as […]Despite courtroom chaos, Rippling is still going full steam ahead.
