Robot navigation relies on algorithms that optimise the route a machine follows from its starting point to a goal while avoiding obstacles and minimising criteria such as time, energy consumption or ...

Researchers have designed an algorithm that can intercept a man-in-the-middle (MitM) cyberattack on an unmanned military robot and shut it down in seconds. The algorithm, tested in real time, achieved ...

Swarm intelligence draws inspiration from collective behaviours observed in biological groups—such as flocks of birds or colonies of insects—and applies decentralised control principles to coordinate ...

Plenty of companies have demoed home robots, but few, if any, have actually been released. The truth is that even the most advanced robots aren't very good at interacting with objects and environments ...

A new chip developed by MIT researchers could help tiny, low-power UAVs avoid obstacles as they zip around tight corners ...

A machine-learning algorithm to study the behavior of proteins within cells and to predict their ability to trigger neurodegenerative diseases such as Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), Parkinson's, ...

Evolution is a very slow process, due largely to the fact that nature doesn't "know" in advance which features of an animal will be beneficial. A new AI-based algorithm does know, however, allowing it ...

Many human activities release pollutants into the air, water and soil. These harmful chemicals threaten the health of both people and the ecosystem. According to the World Health Organization, air ...

What just happened? Researchers have developed an algorithm that allows robots to autonomously identify weaknesses in their skills and then systematically practice to improve them. It's akin to giving ...

The world's first humanoid robot boxing competition has packed a punch that is sure to hit hard in the fast-growing sector's development, providing a testing ground for technicians to further optimize ...
