Modular robots—robotic systems that can adapt their body configuration to change locomotion style or move on different terrains—can be highly advantageous for tackling missions in diverse environments. Over the past decade or so, engineers have developed a wide range of modular robots that rely on different designs and underlying mechanisms.Modular robots—robotic systems that can adapt their body configuration to change locomotion style or move on different terrains—can be highly advantageous for tackling missions in diverse environments.

Hollywood’s striking actors fear that artificial intelligence is coming for their jobs—but for many stunt performers, that dystopian danger is already a reality.Hollywood’s striking actors fear that artificial intelligence is coming for their jobs—but for many stunt performers, that dystopian danger is already a reality.Machine learning & AI[#item_full_content]
While technology experts sound the alarm on the pace of artificial-intelligence development, philanthropists—including long-established foundations and tech billionaires—have been responding with an uptick in grants.While technology experts sound the alarm on the pace of artificial-intelligence development, philanthropists—including long-established foundations and tech billionaires—have been responding with an uptick in grants.Machine learning & AI[#item_full_content]
The model of democracy in the 1920s is sometimes called “the melting pot”—the dissolution of different cultures into an American soup. An update for the 2020s might be “open source,” where cultural mixing, sharing and collaborating can build bridges between people rather than create divides.The model of democracy in the 1920s is sometimes called “the melting pot”—the dissolution of different cultures into an American soup.

Text-to-image (T2I) generative artificial intelligence tools are increasingly powerful and widespread tools that can create nearly any image based on just a few inputted words. T2I generative AI can create convincingly realistic photos and videos, which are being used more and more for a multitude of purposes, from art to political campaigning.Text-to-image (T2I) generative artificial intelligence tools are increasingly powerful and widespread tools that can create nearly any image based on just a few inputted words.
