Four-legged robots that scramble up stairs, stride over rubble, and stream inspection data — no preorder, no lab coat required.

Niantic's AI spinout is training a new world model using 30 billion images of urban landmarks crowdsourced from players.

Abstract: We provide a method for detecting and localizing objects near a robot arm using arm-mounted miniature time-of-flight sensors. A key challenge when using arm-mounted sensors is ...

Gabriel Gomes believes the future of chemistry is as much about flasks and fume hoods as it is about code. A chemical engineer at Carnegie Mellon University, Gomes works at the intersection of ...

Researchers have developed a new system that could help improve safety of driverless cars. The system lets robots see around corners using radio waves processed by AI. Developed by Penn Engineers, the ...

When automating your smart home, much of the attention centers on cameras and lights, but I believe HomeKit door sensors are arguably among the most critical devices to add to your setup. I’ve written ...

Abstract: The development of a novel ultrasonic sensor which provides low-cost and high-precision measurements of position and velocity presents the aim of this paper. The origin of the novel sensor ...

The compound eyes of the humble fruit fly are a marvel of nature. They are wide-angle and can process visual information several times faster than the human eye. Inspired by this biological ...

HoloRadar uses radio waves to see around corners, allowing it to detect people at T-shaped intersections like the one pictured here. Penn Engineers have developed a system that lets robots see around ...
