Researchers have designed an algorithm that can intercept a man-in-the-middle (MitM) cyberattack on an unmanned military robot and shut it down in seconds. The algorithm, tested in real time, achieved ...

Robot navigation relies on algorithms that optimise the route a machine follows from its starting point to a goal while avoiding obstacles and minimising criteria such as time, energy consumption or ...

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 ...

Plenty of companies have demoed home robots, but few, if any, have actually been released. The truth is that even the most advanced robots aren't very good at interacting with objects and environments ...

New four-legged robot adapts its movement in real time, using AI to choose the best gait for stairs, rocks, slopes, and other obstacles.

Machine learning algorithms can analyze test data quickly and then learn from that data for the next set of experiments executed by the robots. These machine learning algorithms can quickly identify ...

We're inching ever-closer to them being able to handle household tasks. This story originally appeared in The Algorithm, our weekly newsletter on AI. To get stories like this in your inbox first, sign ...

Unlike biological systems, which can use muscles, robots that try to imitate them don’t have particularly fast, powerful, ...

Centaur robot Threehalves went viral for its horned chainsaw design, but California startup Satyress Robotics confirms the machine is still in component testing and more than two years from sale.
