An Aerial Microrobot Can Reach Speeds Similar To a Bumblebee’s

Engineering, Robotics /

In the future, small flying robots could be used to help locate survivors trapped under rubble after a major earthquake. Much like insects, these robots would be able to navigate through narrow gaps that larger machines cannot, while avoiding obstacles and falling debris. Until now, aerial microrobots have only been able to fly slowly along

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

Artificial Intelligence, Robotics, Tech /

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
