What Is Embodied Intelligence and What Can It Do
September 30, 2024
Artificial intelligence might be the focus of many conversations today, but it cannot touch or manipulate the physical world without a body. A group of robotics experts got together at the University of California San Diego to talk about the many ways intelligence could be embodied to interact with the real world. Full Story
Groundbreaking vine robots with magnetic skin could transform cancer treatment
August 5, 2024
A new class of robot with magnetic skin and movement that mimics creeping vine plants, could transform cancer diagnosis and treatment. The soft, slender, “magnetic vine robots” developed by researchers at the University of Leeds in collaboration with engineers at the University of California San Diego not only “grow” as they move, they can also squeeze through gaps almost 40 per cent thinner than their resting diameter. This enables them to navigate narrow, complex pathways deep inside the human body, such as the bronchial tree. Full Story
