Diligent Robotics co-founder Vivian Chu said her "minimum viable humanoid" robots are already helping hospital staff save ...

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.

Traditionally, chemical reactions have been described as one-line "equations" in which substrates, say A and B, convert purposefully but rigidly into a desired product, say C. Naturally, it has been ...

U.S. solar is weighed down by soft costs and policy inefficiencies: fragmented permitting, slow approvals, duplicative inspections, and high fees. Customer acquisition remains bloated by opaque ...

From left, engineering professor Morteza Lahijanian and graduate student Karan Muvvala watch as a robotic arm completes a task using wooden blocks. Imagine for a moment that you’re in an auto factory.

Imagine for a moment that you’re in an auto factory. A robot and a human are working next to each other on the production line. The robot is busy rapidly assembling car doors while the human runs ...

Inside a UNC-Chapel Hill Science lab sits an autonomous robot. Imagine a machine like a Roomba, but with an arm, so it can pick up things like a dirty sock off the floor. A group of researchers from ...

I spent many weeks testing robot lawn mowers. While they saved me a lot of time, they're not as automated as I hoped. Here are six things that surprised me the most. Adam has been a leader in the tech ...

For decades we’ve been trying to make the robots smarter and more physically capable by mimicking biological intelligence and movement. “But in doing so, we’ve been just replicating the results of ...
