Volkan Isler, professor in the Department of Computer Science and a core faculty member of Texas Robotics is leading SAFE-BOLT (Safety-Assured Force-Aware Execution for Bimanual Operations on Lab ...

Robots revolutionized the manufacturing industry by automating assembly lines. Now, more and more, they are being used to expedite the pace of scientific discovery. Neutron scattering instruments are ...

A $2,500 pair of humanoid robot legs built from 3D-printed parts and off-the-shelf components is not going to win marathons just yet. But such relatively inexpensive hardware could enable researchers ...

Machine-learning models can speed up the discovery of new materials by making predictions and suggesting experiments. But most models today only consider a few specific types of data or variables.

Open-ended experiments that engage students with a “need to know” factor rather than a “cookie-cutter” approach are key, say veteran science teachers.

Science laboratories across disciplines--chemistry, biochemistry and materials science--are on the verge of a sweeping transformation as robotic automation and AI lead to faster and more precise ...

A new robot hand provides extremely fast and flexible finger movements, while also being tough enough to survive intense damage. That durability helps the hand, which is already being used in Google ...

A robot showed basic signs of self-consciousness in an experiment that required the robot to hear its own voice and reason. Three Nao robots were programmed to understand the rules of a simple task.

Experiments involving real and simulated robots suggest that the relationship between physical movement and sensory input could be crucial to developing more intelligent machines. Tests involving two ...

South Korea has launched a national industry-academia-research consortium to accelerate the spread of autonomous laboratories ...

The massive seed round was led by Index Ventures and Ribbit Capital, with participation from Sarah Guo's Conviction Partners.
