Tech Xplore / Robotic dog mimics mammals for superior mobility on land and in water
A team of researchers has unveiled a cutting-edge Amphibious Robotic Dog capable of roving across both land and water with remarkable efficiency. The study, published in Bioinspiration & Biomimetics, was inspired by mammals' ...
Tech Xplore / System lets robots identify an object's properties through handling
A human clearing junk out of an attic can often guess the contents of a box simply by picking it up and giving it a shake, without the need to see what's inside. Researchers from MIT, Amazon Robotics, and the University of ...
Tech Xplore / Smart spongy device captures water from thin air
Engineers from Australia and China have invented a sponge-like device that captures water from thin air and then releases it in a cup using the sun's energy, even in low humidity where other technologies such as fog harvesting ...
Tech Xplore / Scientists develop new mathematical model for transfer learning in neural networks
Alessandro Ingrosso, researcher at the Donders Institute for Neuroscience, has developed a new mathematical method in collaboration with colleagues in two Italian research institutions, which enables the prediction of the ...
