#439263 Somehow This Robot Sticks to Ceilings by ...

Just when I think I’ve seen every possible iteration of climbing robot, someone comes up with a new way of getting robots to stick to things. The latest technique comes from the Bioinspired Robotics and Design Lab at UCSD, where they’ve managed to get a robot to stick to smooth surfaces using a vibrating motor attached to a flexible disk. How the heck does it work?
According to a paper just published in Advanced Intelligent Systems, it’s due to […] Continue Reading…

#439257 Can a Robot Be Arrested? Hold a Patent? ...

Steven Cherry When horses were replaced by engines, for work and transportation, we didn’t need to rethink our legal frameworks. So when a fixed-in-place factory machine is replaced by a free-standing AI robot, or when a human truck driver is replaced by autonomous driving software, do we really need to make any fundamental changes to the law?
My guest today seems to think so. Or perhaps more accurately, he thinks that surprisingly, we do not; he says we need […] Continue Reading…

#439252 The Cheetah’s Fluffy Tail Points ...

Almost but not quite a decade ago, researchers from UC Berkeley equipped a little robotic car with an actuated metal rod with a weight on the end and used it to show how lizards use their tails to stabilize themselves while jumping through the air. That research inspired a whole bunch of other tailed mobile robots, including a couple of nifty ones from Amir Patel at the University of Cape Town.
The robotic tails that we’ve seen are generally […] Continue Reading…

#439251 Is AI the Future of Training for New ...

Everywhere you look in technology today, you find buzz about the promise of emergent technologies such as machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI). From curating the content that we watch on streaming services to finding ways to improve intense logistical processes, ML- and AI-based technologies already impact our lives in many ways. Increasingly, these …
