In a big step toward better monitoring of the biodiversity of ocean ecosystems, a new research recently published in the journal Environmental DNA details how Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI) scientists are employing unmanned underwater robots to sample environmental DNA (eDNA).
In the wake of storms, safe and uninterrupted road movement is critical so that individuals can get medical treatment, fallen power lines can be removed, and communities can go back to normal.
Scientists from the University of Cambridge prepared their robot chef to analyze the saltiness of a dish at various stages of the chewing procedure, simulating a similar method in humans, in partnership with domestic appliance manufacturer Beko.
A robot called Lyra has been employed to check a ventilation duct in the redundant nuclear laboratories at Dounreay and chart the radioactive materials.
For the first time, researchers have shown that molecular robots can handle the delivery of cargo by utilizing a swarming strategy, realizing a transport efficiency that is five times more than that of solo robots.
Recently, the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) has bestowed the 2021 ACM Prize in Computing to Pieter Abbeel for his contributions to robot learning, including deep reinforcement learning for robotic control and learning from demonstrations.
Researchers are employing innovative artificial intelligence (AI) to assist them in extracting complex data from huge collections of museum specimens.
One of the ultimate objectives in the field of medical science is to create customized disease diagnostics and therapeutics. Latest research from a team of engineering scientists from Northwestern University has moved this closer.
Researchers are more and more troubled that the absence of reproducibility in research may result in, among other things, inexactness that decelerates scientific output and reduces public trust in science.
From algorithms that steer autonomous vehicles and offer medical diagnoses to chatbots that answer tax queries, artificial intelligence (AI) offers the needed support for many facets of daily life.
