A new AI-based approach for controlling autonomous robots satisfies the often-conflicting goals of safety and stability. MIT researchers developed a machine-learning technique that can autonomously drive a car or fly a plane through a very difficult “stabilize-avoid” scenario, in which the vehicle must stabilize its trajectory to arrive at and stay within some goal …

A simple sponge has improved how robots grasp, scientists from the University of Bristol have found. Robot sponge. Image credit: Tianqi Yue This easy-to-make sponge-jamming device can help stiff robots handle delicate items carefully by mimicking the nuanced touch, or variable stiffness, of a human. Robots can skip, jump and do somersaults, but …
