Imagine a robot that doesn’t just follow commands but actually plans its actions, adjusts its movements on the go, and learns from feedback—much like a human would. This may sound like a far-fetched idea, but researchers at NYU Tandon School of Engineering have achieved this with their new algorithm...
Researchers from Wuhan University have developed a new framework that could help robots manipulate objects more easily. Introduced in a new paper on arXiv, this approach should enable humanoid robots to grasp and handle a greater variety of objects than is currently possible. At present, humanoid ro...
Electric vehicle charging stations have a stability problem. As swarms of cars constantly plug in and yank their chargers out at random, every unpredictable connection sends a jolt through the system. Multiply that by a dozen or more fast chargers, and the result is power supply imbalances that can ...
Researchers have found that macaques can tap along to a musical beat and it upends the assumption that only animals with vocal-learning abilities can find and move to a groove.The research team also claimed that outside of humans, the ability to synchronize movement to rhythm – isochronicity – is st...
