A new algorithm that encourages robots to move more randomly to collect more diverse data for learning. Northwestern Engineering researchers have developed a new artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm ...

What just happened? Researchers have developed an algorithm that allows robots to autonomously identify weaknesses in their skills and then systematically practice to improve them. It's akin to giving ...

Evolution is a very slow process, due largely to the fact that nature doesn't "know" in advance which features of an animal will be beneficial. A new AI-based algorithm does know, however, allowing it ...

Plenty of companies have demoed home robots, but few, if any, have actually been released. The truth is that even the most advanced robots aren't very good at interacting with objects and environments ...

There are some tasks that traditional robots -- the rigid and metallic kind -- simply aren't cut out for. Soft-bodied robots, on the other hand, may be able to interact with people more safely or slip ...

Researchers have designed an algorithm that can intercept a man-in-the-middle (MitM) cyberattack on an unmanned military robot and shut it down in seconds. The algorithm, tested in real time, achieved ...

(Nanowerk News) Northwestern University engineers have developed a new artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm designed specifically for smart robotics. By helping robots rapidly and reliably learn ...

Researchers developed a deep learning neural network to aid the design of soft-bodied robots. The algorithm optimizes the arrangement of sensors on the robot, enabling it to complete tasks as ...
