Tetsuwan Scientific, a San Francisco-based startup, is building artificial intelligence (AI) robotics that can perform the tasks of a scientist. The co-founders, CEO Cristian Ponce and the Chief Technology Officer (CTO) Théo Schäfer, brought the startup out of stealth in November after a successful seed round funding. The company aims to build intelligent software that […]
That’s the question at the center of my story for our magazine, published online today, on whether we will trust humanoid robots enough to welcome them into our most private spaces, particularly if they’re part of an asymmetric labor arrangement in which workers in low-wage countries perform physical tasks for us in our homes through […]
Europa ha desplegado su ejército de robots para enfrentarse a Rusia. Se trata de un grupo de vehículos terrestres no tripulados (UGV) THeMIS que el fabricante estonio Milrem Robotics ha anunciado que está apoyando a Ucrania. La empresa estonia ha puesto de manifiesto el papel fundamental que está desempeñando en la guerra con unos sistemas robóticos para […]
Scientists in South Korea have developed swarms of tiny magnetic robots that work together like ants to achieve Herculean feats, including traversing and picking up objects many times their size. The findings, published Wednesday, December 18 in the Cell Press journal Device, suggest that these microrobot swarms — operating under a rotating magnetic field — […]
It’s an interesting idea, and it is fun to see the idea of an AI agent explored within the relatively benign realm of artistic expression. That said, Botto still poses some ethical conundrums. Many working artists rightly worry about the impact AI is having on their profession, as models trained on millions of copyrighted works […]
Infertility affects an estimated 186 million people worldwide, with fallopian tube obstruction contributing to 11%-67% of female infertility cases. In AIP Advances, from AIP Publishing, researchers at the SIAT Magnetic Soft Microrobots Lab have developed an innovative solution using a magnetically driven robotic microscrew to treat fallopian tube blockages. “This new technology offers a potentially […]
Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. No longer confined to science fiction or experimental labs, robots are now playing pivotal roles in manufacturing, food service and warehousing. From startups looking to scale quickly to established enterprises seeking efficiency, automation is proving indispensable across sectors. Faced with labor shortages, rising operational costs and increasing […]
In addition to the robot being bricked, Embodied noted that warranties, repair services, the corresponding parent app and guides, and support staff will no longer be accessible. “Unable to Offer Refunds” Embodied said it is “unable” to offer most Moxie owners refunds due to its “financial situation and impending dissolution.” The potential exception is for […]
Advances in medicine have led to an increase in human longevity. Estimates suggest that by 2030, one in every six individuals globally will be aged over 60 years. This rapid increase in the aging population implies a larger number of aged individuals requiring care. Family members and professional caregivers may not be able to meet […]
In 2018, Google DeepMind’s AlphaZero program taught itself the games of chess, shogi, and Go using machine learning and a special algorithm to determine the best moves to win a game within a defined grid. Now, a team of Caltech researchers has developed an analogous algorithm for autonomous robots — a planning and decision-making control […]
