By converting plastic waste into a microbe-friendly food source, scientists have built an upcycling pipeline that turns the waste into a variety of useful products.
Under the EPFL-led ADOPT project, researchers are combining AI satellite-image recognition with drift prediction models to improve the collection of plastic debris in the ocean. The technology has passed the proof-of-concept stage and is ready for field testing.
Stalks, husks and other crop waste show promise as feedstock for sustainable biofuels, but finding microbes that can convert woody plant matter into fuel at industrial scale has proven difficult.
To help generative AI models create durable, real-world accessories and decor, the PhysiOpt system runs physics simulations and makes subtle tweaks to its 3D blueprints.
Explore why computing is shifting from cloud to edge, how local data processing reduces latency and bandwidth use, and the technologies enabling AI, IoT, and real-time intelligence at the edge.
This article provides a comprehensive overview of motor controllers, covering definitions, types, control strategies, design considerations, selection guidelines, and emerging trends.
In this episode, we explore how Ocean Alliance uses 3D-printed drone systems to deploy wearable tags on whales, unlocking continuous data on how these giants move, dive, and live underwater.
A thorough tutorial for digital design engineers, hardware engineers, and electronics students on how to calibrate a 3D printer effectively. It covers theory and practical implementations.
From hospital wards to crop fields, from microscopic swarms to biohybrid machines powered by fungi, robotics research at Cornell spans an astonishing range of scale, application and ambition.
A collaboration between Princeton University engineers and entomologists at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign began with the researchers chasing grasshoppers in a hot parking lot.
An AI control system co-developed by SMART researchers enables soft robotic arms to learn a broad set of motions once and adapt instantly to changing conditions without retraining.
