Researchers from the University of Maryland and the U.S. Army Research Laboratory have developed a new water-based lithium-ion battery that can reach the critical 4.0 volt threshold without the danger of explosion and fire inherent in non-aqueous lithium-ion batteries.
In partnership with engineers from Hyundai, Jonathon Keats, an experimental philosopher and artist, has developed, Roadable Synapse, a concept that uses vehicle sensors to convey a sense of what the car is experiencing directly to the driver.
Researchers have created a nano-sized device that acts as a tiny muscle and can lift 165 times its own weight for robotic actuation in aqueous environments.
Microsoft's Project Brainwave is a deep learning platform that uses the flexibility of field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) to deliver high-performance artificial intelligence.
Representatives of prominent AI and robots companies, including Google, Tesla, and Universal Robotics, have called for the UN to ban killer robots. But the issue is turning out to be as complex as the robots themselves.
MIT researchers have developed a system that allows robots to understand verbal commands and cues in the same way that smart home devices like Alexa and Google Home do.
Scientists at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne (EPFL) have developed a vacuum-powered, soft pneumatic actuator that can be modularly deployed for a variety of robotics applications.
