For more than a decade, neuroscientists had recordings from monkey brains learning to sort visual patterns. They had analyzed the data, published landmark papers, and moved on. Then a computer model ...

Most robot headlines follow a familiar script: a machine masters one narrow trick in a controlled lab, then comes the bold promise that everything is about to change. I usually tune those stories out.

Last September roboticist Benjie Holson posted the “Humanoid Olympic Games”: a set of increasingly difficult tests for humanoid robots that he demonstrated himself while dressed in a silver bodysuit.

Some memory work seems more difficult than others. We have already covered learning math. Here we will consider such tasks as expanding vocabulary, learning a foreign language, and remembering dates ...

Learning how a physical system behaves usually means repeating measurements and using statistics to uncover patterns. That approach works well in classical science. Once quantum effects dominate, the ...

Thanks to researchers at Georgia Tech, robots have taken several new steps towards replacing human labor – and not simply for ...

I’ve been covering Android since 2022, when I joined Android Police, mostly focusing on AI and everything around Pixel and Galaxy phones. I’ve got a bachelor’s in IT with a major in AI, so I naturally ...

Effective task allocation has become a critical challenge for multi-robot systems operating in dynamic environments like search and rescue. Traditional methods, often based on static data and ...

Research suggests that some review sessions need to be widely spaced by two months or more from the initial learning. The amount and spacing of foreign language vocabulary learning have an enormous ...
