Researchers are conducting a series of experiments to explore whether robots can acquire knowledge in a manner similar to human learning. Read More
Researchers used Nash equilibrium game theory and adaptive control to program a robot that can better understand its human user's behavior. This allows the robot to anticipate and respond to the human's movements. Read More
Researchers report a woman who underwent revolutionary robotic uterine transplant surgery is now pregnant. The child will be the first born following a transplant using the new robotic surgical technique. Read More
Working with caregivers, researchers have identified a number of characteristics required for robots to support both dementia patients and those who provide supportive care. Read More
Neuroimaging reveals brain area activity in the amygdala and prefrontal cortex helps people determine the likability of robots and suitability for social partnership. Read More
Researchers have developed a new method that generates fully functioning skeletal muscle tissue, which they incorporated into a biohybrid robot. The robot was able to generate fluid movement and continued muscle function for over a week. Read More
Researchers have created a robot that can learn to visually predict how its partner will behave. This could help robots get along with other robots and humans more intuitively. Read More
