Robot: I’m sorry. Human: I don’t care anymore!
Humans are less forgiving of robots after multiple mistakes — and the trust is difficult to get back, according to a new study. Read More

A new ‘outside-the-box’ method of teaching artificial intelligence (AI) models to make decisions could provide hope for finding new therapeutic methods for cancer, according to a new study. Read More
When it comes to the ‘evolution’ of mobile robots, it may be a long time before legged robots are able to safely interact in the real world, according to a new study. Read More
The loss of pollinators, such as bees, is a huge challenge for global biodiversity and affects humanity by causing problems in food production. Researchers have now developed the first passively flying robot equipped with artificial muscle. Could this artificial fairy…
Scientists have created an AI system capable of generating artificial enzymes from scratch. In laboratory tests, some of these enzymes worked as well as those found in nature, even when their artificially generated amino acid sequences diverged significantly from any…
Meet the new addition to the robo-dog family, ‘RaiBo’, that can run along the sandy beach without losing balance and walk through grassy fields and back on the hard-floored tracking fields all on its own — no further tinkering necessary.…
For people who are blind or visually impaired, finding the right products in a crowded grocery store can be difficult without help. A team of computer scientists is trying to change that. Read More

Posted by Jeff Dean, Senior Fellow and SVP of Google Research, on behalf of the Google Research community Today we kick off a series of blog posts about exciting new developments from Google Research. Please keep your eye on this…
Until now, microscopic robotic systems have had to make do without arms. Now researchers have developed an ultrasonically actuated glass needle that can be attached to a robotic arm. This lets them pump and mix minuscule amounts of liquid and…
Birds fly more efficiently by folding their wings during the upstroke, according to a recent study. The results could mean that wing-folding is the next step in increasing the propulsive and aerodynamic efficiency of flapping drones. Read More
