A robot capable of extracting scorpion venom without human intervention has been patented by Moroccan scientists. This innovation removes the hazard of extracting the venom manually.
For prosthetic hand users, pressing buttons on a remote control, typing on a keyboard, or braiding a child’s hair has remained elusive.
ATELIER de Hoteles announces the implementation of a groundbreaking artificial intelligence (AI) software system at the hotel complex, ATELIER · ESTUDIO Playa Mujeres, complementing the company's already renowned and signature concept of Handcrafted Hospitality®.
DNAstack today announced Viral AI, a federated network for genomic variant surveillance and infectious disease research. Viral AI was designed to deliver equitable access to software infrastructure, accelerate international data sharing, and empower scientists and public health officials with globally representative datasets they need to mitigate current and future infectious disease outbreaks.
Software Quality Assurance testing just got smarter, thanks to a new AI-powered test case management tool developed by a team of test engineers in Kingston, Jamaica.
Outrider, the pioneer in autonomous yard operations for logistics hubs, announced it has released fully autonomous trailer backing capabilities to its fleet. This proprietary technology enables autonomous yard trucks to back trailers into tight spaces with precision and without modifications to trailers. These capabilities are now available as part of the Outrider System, which automates distribution yards for large, logistics-dependent enterprises.
Harvard University researchers, in collaboration with colleagues from Emory University, have developed the first fully autonomous biohybrid fish from human stem-cell derived cardiac muscle cells. The artificial fish swims by recreating the muscle contractions of a pumping heart, bringing researchers one step closer to developing a more complex artificial muscular pump and providing a platform to study heart disease like arrhythmia.
A new project, led by Monash University researchers, will develop an Artificial Intelligence (AI)-assisted application to help with real-time interpretations for diplomatic talks, international business and tourism.
Robotics scientists at Virginia Tech have developed a multifunctional shape-morphing material that enables soft robots to adopt complex, load-bearing shapes without the use of motors or pulleys.
