Robots Can Now Learn New Skills By Watching Videos

Engineers have built robots that are capable of learning new skills by watching videos of humans performing them. A team from Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) developed a model that allowed robots to perform household tasks like opening drawers and picking...

Scientists Turn Aircraft Into Moon Gravity Research Lab

The moon is a strange little world. Only about 1.2% the mass of Earth, our planet’s companion exerts a much weaker gravitational force on objects on its surface than its parent planet. As a result, an astronaut on the moon’s surface feels as if...

Audi Collaboration Focus: Smart Roadway Safety

Peachtree Corners – one of the nation’s first smart cities powered by real-world connected infrastructure – and Audi of America Inc. announced a collaboration to advance cellular vehicle-to-everything (C-V2X) practical deployment pathways as part of the...

Could A “Toroidal Propeller” Change The Future Of Drones?

The basic configuration of traditional propellers has not fundamentally changed since the first powered flight by the Wright brothers in 1903. However, as engineers learn more about aerodynamics and attempt new experiments, propellers are evolving to more complex...

These 2D Machines Can Shapeshift Into Moving 3D Robots

In order to keep costs low while maximizing utility, engineers are getting creative with their potential robotic cargo. As governments and private companies set their sights returning to the moon and,eventually, establishing a human presence on Mars, space-friendly...
