Research conducted by the University of Cambridge reveals that the impact of robots on company profits follows a ‘U-shaped’ pattern. Initially, as companies adopt robots at low levels, their profit margins tend to decline. However, as robot adoption increases, profit margins start to rise again, eventually leading to higher profits. An Analysis of Industry Data […]

Scientists at the California’s University San Diego have developed a novel approach, inspired by human dexterity, to enable a robotic hand to rotate objects solely through touch, eliminating the need for visual input. The team equipped a four-fingered robotic hand with 16 touch sensors on its palm and fingers. These low-cost, low-resolution touch sensors, each

Scientists have trained a robotic chef to view and learn from cooking videos and recreate the recipe. The scientists from the University of Cambridge programmed their robot chef with a ‘cookbook’ of eight basic salad recipes. After watching a video of a human showing one of the recipes, the robot chef could recognize which recipe

Biologist Cornelis Vlasman imagines the body as a functioning biological LEGO system. As well as, his clickable system of swapping human organs is coming to life … if you want to define life reasonably loosely. Moreover, you are willing to suspend reality for a bit. In a (fictional) experiment, Vlasman developed OSCAR, a living, organic
