Waymo Tests Robotaxis in Philly and NYC

Waymo launched “road trips” to Philly and NYC, signaling Northeast expansion plans. These trips don’t mean a commercial launch is imminent. As with past trips to cities like Houston and Orlando, Waymo sends human-driven cars with autonomous tech to map new areas. Later, they test the vehicles in autonomous mode—with safety drivers—gathering data to refine

MIT’s Vision-Based Technology Allows Robots To Recognize And Understand Their Own Bodies

At MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL), a soft robotic hand slowly curls its fingers around a small object. What’s remarkable isn’t its mechanical structure or any built-in sensors—because it has none. Instead, the system depends entirely on a single camera that observes the robot’s actions and uses that visual input to guide

One Brain Scan Can Reveal Your Rate of Aging

High school reunions often highlight how differently people age. Some individuals remain mentally sharp and physically active well into their later years, while others begin to experience frailty or memory decline much sooner than anticipated. “The way we age biologically doesn’t always match our chronological age,” said Ahmad Hariri, a psychology and neuroscience professor at

Scientists Reveal Open-source Exoskeleton to Aid walking

Picture a future where robotic legs enable people with disabilities to walk independently. A new open-source exoskeleton project from Northern Arizona University is bringing that vision closer to reality. Currently, the high cost and time required to develop complex electromechanical systems often prevent research from getting off the ground. However, that could soon change.After years
