A soft and sensitive electronic skin containing an array of capacitors that can measure the direction of applied pressure in real time might be used as the artificial skin of domestic robots in the ...

Dec. 15 (UPI) --To help robots walk a little bit more like real insects, researchers have turned to nonlinear physics, the branch of physics used to describe complex, real world systems. "Nonlinear ...

Artificial intelligence is already better than humans at video games, quiz shows and an ancient Chinese board game. Next up, the bots are coming for Jenga. In a newly-published paper, scientists from ...

The pink strip lies flat on a black-and-white checkerboard surface. It's rubbery—gummy, almost—and just thicker than an unrolled fruit leather snack. At a glance, the strip seems unremarkable.

Drop the pumpkin! Drop the pumpkin!” screamed the students in unison, with the occasional “six seven!” ringing through the crowd.
