From autonomous cars to video games, reinforcement learning (machine learning through interaction with environments) can have ...

Sea stars, creatures whose movement involves the coordination of hundreds of tiny tube feet to navigate complex environments – despite the lack of a central “brain.” Now, researchers at USC Viterbi ...

Consider the marvelous physics of the human knee. The largest hinge joint in the body, it has two rounded bones held together ...

Understand vector addition through real physics problem examples. This video explains how vectors combine using clear diagrams and practical applications, making the concept easy to follow for ...

Abstract: In this work, we propose a novel artificial vector field for robot navigation in n-dimensional path-following tasks, designed to ensure safety and convergence with a smoothed control law.

The soulless, dystopian all-digital Wawa of the future completely missed the point of why we go to Wawa in the first place.

Abstract: This paper presents a novel hybrid optimization algorithm, FVIM-SaDE, which combines the Four Vector Intelligent Optimizer (FVIM) and Self-Adaptive Differential Evolution (SaDE) to solve the ...

Humanoid robot startups are raising massive funding rounds, and the sales pitch is familiar. Human-shaped machines will soon step into warehouses and factories, and then eventually our homes. But the ...

We may receive a commission on purchases made from links. Decades ago, the common hope was that, by the year 2000, we would be living in a full-on science-fiction utopia, with intelligent robots ...

There was a power outage in San Francisco on Saturday, initially leaving 124,000 of 414,000 customers—about 30%—in the dark. It also caused a widespread Waymo meltdown, with apparently all active ...
