Interactive robotics is a relatively new field of study, but in a short time has moved on from just performing pre-programmed repetitive tasks to more complex activities, including interactions with living creatures. Biocompatible and biomimetic robots, for example, are being increasingly used to study animals and plants. Animal-in-the-loop robotic systems…

Building ever larger language models has led to groundbreaking jumps in performance. But it’s also pushing state-of-the-art AI beyond the reach of all but the most well-resourced AI labs. That makes efforts to shrink models down to more manageable sizes more important than ever, say researchers. In 2020, researchers at…

Python has long been one of—if not the—top programming languages in use. Yet while the high-level language’s simplified syntax makes it easy to learn and use, it can be slower compared to lower-level languages such as C or C++.Researchers from MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) hope to…

Robots Using Legs as Arms to Climb and Push Buttons

We’ve gotten used to thinking of quadrupedal robots as robotic versions of dogs. And, to be fair, it’s right there in the word “quadrupedal.” But if we can just get past the Latin, there’s absolutely no reason why quadrupedal robots have to restrict themselves to using all four of their…

New technologies often are introduced through spectacle: Think of the historic demonstrations carried out by Faraday, Edison, Morse, and Bell, or, more recently, by Steve Jobs onstage in his black turtleneck at Macworld 2007, holding the first iPhone. Indeed, hyped-up product announcements at industry events like the Consumer Electronics Show…
