Researchers studied the effect of the ‘attitudes’ of a semi-autonomous telepresence robot on its human operator. They found that when a person controlled only a part of the body of a semi-autonomous robot, its expressed opinions affected him or her.…

Engineers devised a recipe for improving any autonomous robotic system. Their optimization code can automatically identify how and where to tweak a system to improve a robot’s performance. Read More

A camera system can see sound vibrations with such precision and detail that it can reconstruct the music of a single instrument in a band or orchestra. Even the most high-powered and directed microphones can’t eliminate nearby sounds, ambient noise…

Microplastics are found nearly everywhere on Earth and can be harmful to animals if they’re ingested. But it’s hard to remove such tiny particles from the environment, especially once they settle into nooks and crannies at the bottom of waterways.…

Researchers have developed a way to help autonomous vehicles create ‘memories’ of previous experiences and use them in future navigation, especially during adverse weather conditions when the car cannot safely rely on its sensors. Read More
