Watch: Humanoid robot shows unexpectedly strong tennis skills

Leave a Comment / Applied Science, Robotics / Jorge Paka

This isn’t teleoperation. Chinese researchers have tested a faster, more efficient method for training robots in tennis, showing a major leap in AI and machine learning. What does it take to be a capable athlete? Extremely precise perception, coupled with strong coordination, sharp anticipation, quick reflexes, and mastery of sport-specific techniques. That last part has […]

UK Scientists Create Self-Powered Plastic-Eating Robot Fish

Leave a Comment / Applied Science, Robotics / Jorge Paka

Researchers at the University of Surrey have developed a robotic fish that can consume plastic waste while generating its own energy. The team created the device, called the robo-fish, to tackle the rising problem of microplastic pollution in oceans, rivers, and lakes. Unlike most machines, the robot does not rely on batteries. Instead, it uses
