Sam Kriegman, a professor at Northwestern's McCormick School of Engineering, is something of a local celebrity. He can often be found on television shows explaining the wonders of his new invention – ...

The AI-designed robot has three legs, rear fins, a flat face and is riddled with holes — something a human engineer would never conceive. Inventor of xenobots unveils new advance toward artificial ...

A team led by Northwestern Engineering researchers has developed the first artificial intelligence (AI) to date that can intelligently design robots from scratch. To test the new AI, the researchers ...

We humans have mastered fire, split the atom, and shot ourselves into space. We've built machines that can outthink us and tools that can cook us lunch or cut open our chests to perform life-saving ...

Researchers developed the first AI to date that can intelligently design robots from scratch by compressing billions of years of evolution into mere seconds. It's not only fast but also runs on a ...

POUGHKEEPSIE, N.Y. -- Robots wag their tail fins and bob along like bathtub toys in a pool at a Vassar College lab. Their actions are dictated by microprocessors housed in plastic containers, the sort ...

Evolution is a very slow process, due largely to the fact that nature doesn't "know" in advance which features of an animal will be beneficial. A new AI-based algorithm does know, however, allowing it ...

Analysis from GlobalData suggests that the use of robotic dogs is becoming widespread in emergency use cases, but it also highlights other mining applications. Since early trials started around 2020, ...

The ideal bearing solution in humanoid robots will manage varying loads and minimize energy loss. Consider these and other specifications engineers can tailor to their applications. The technical ...
