The current crop of AI robots has made giant leaps when it comes to tiny activities.
Robotics
Robots based on soft materials are often better at replicating the appearance, movements and abilities of both humans and animals. While there are now countless soft robots, many of these are difficult to produce on a large-scale, ...
Engineering
A trio of materials scientists at Sorbonne Université has developed a new approach to creating types of thin panels that can be transformed into curved, 3D objects without resorting to wrinkling or cutting. In their study, ...
Engineering
A team of mechanical engineers at Ecole Centrale de Lyon has found that long-distance runners using pacers to reduce drag can improve their run times by running in particular formations. In their study, reported in the journal ...
