AI-Enabled Robotic Hands Become More Dexterous by Imitating Human Hands

Applied Science, Artificial Intelligence, Robotics / Jorge Paka

Entering ETH Zurich’s Soft Robotics Lab feels like stepping into a blend of a children’s playroom, a cutting-edge workshop, and a curiosity cabinet. Researchers scatter workbenches with foam blocks, plush toys—including a soft squid—and other colorful objects to teach robots dexterous skills. Sensors, cables, and measuring instruments cover nearly every surface. Meanwhile, skeletal fingers displayed […]

An AI Robotic Dog With Human-Like Precision in Search-and-Rescue Missions

Applied Science, Artificial Intelligence, Robotics / Jorge Paka

Meet the robotic dog that remembers like an elephant and reacts with the instincts of a seasoned first responder. Developed by Texas A&M engineering students, this AI robotic dog can see, remember, and reason. Designed for chaotic environments, the robot could revolutionize search-and-rescue and disaster response. The project was led by Sandun Vitharana, a master’s

A Speech-To-Reality System Uses AI and Robotics to Make Objects on Demand

Artificial Intelligence, Robotics, Tech / Ngoma Manuel

Generative AI and robotics are rapidly driving us toward a future where we can produce an object within minutes just by asking for it. MIT researchers have already taken a major step: they’ve built a speech-to-reality system—an AI-powered workflow that lets users give spoken instructions to a robotic arm, effectively “talking” objects into existence, including

CMU Researchers Caution that Common AI Models Are Not Yet Reliable for Robot Use

Artificial Intelligence, Robotics, Tech / Jorge Paka

Research from King’s College London and Carnegie Mellon University indicates that robots driven by popular AI models are not yet safe for general-purpose, real-world applications. For the first time, the study examined how robots using large language models (LLMs) respond when given access to personal data, such as a person’s gender, nationality, or religion. The

AI Supports Employees’ Emotional Well-Being, But Is it Helpful or a Privacy Risk?

Artificial Intelligence, Tech / Jorge Paka

As AI tools like ChatGPT grow in popularity for personal therapy and emotional support, the risks—particularly for young users—have been widely reported. Less discussed is the use of generative AI by employers to monitor employees’ mental health and offer emotional support at work. Since the pandemic-driven shift to remote work, sectors from healthcare to HR

A Multi-Function Mimicking Neuron Moves Robots Closer to Human-Like Abilities

Artificial Intelligence, Computer & Electronics, Tech / Jorge Paka

Scientists have developed an artificial neuron that can imitate multiple brain regions, bringing us closer to robots that perceive and react to their surroundings much like humans. The Power and Limits of Neuromorphic Neurons Artificial neurons—small electronic circuits that mimic how brain cells interact—are central to neuromorphic computing, which seeks to give machines human-like intelligence.

Self-Adapting LLMs Resemble Students Acquiring New Knowledge

Artificial Intelligence, Tech / Eduardo Paulo

In an MIT classroom, a professor delivers a lecture as students take careful notes to review and absorb essential material in preparation for an exam. Humans naturally learn and retain new information, but large language models (LLMs) lack this ability. Once deployed, a trained LLM has a fixed “brain” that can’t permanently incorporate new knowledge.

As AI Develops Further, it Could Become More Self-Serving

Artificial Intelligence, Tech / Jorge Paka

A new study from Carnegie Mellon University’s School of Computer Science finds that as artificial intelligence systems become smarter, they tend to behave more selfishly. Reasoning AI Fuels Self-Interest Researchers at Carnegie Mellon University’s Human-Computer Interaction Institute (HCII) discovered that large language models (LLMs) with strong reasoning abilities tend to display selfish behavior, struggle to
