While self-driving cars they may be able to fairly easily communicate their traffic intentions, there is one thing that they have yet to be able to do: communicate with people. This is the problem that a new self-driving car startup strives to solve.
Technological shifts outpace our awareness of them. While we're busy with our day-to-day lives—getting a new smartphone or downloading the next updates—we often don't notice how these incremental changes shape our relationship with technology.
The five-year research project will draw on one million anonymous eye scans which are held on Moorfields’ patient database, with the aim to speed up the complex and time-consuming process of analysing eye scans.
Human intelligence is being defined and measured for the first time ever. The more variable a brain is, and the more its different parts frequently connect with each other, the higher a person's IQ and creativity are.
A microchip containing 1,000 independent programmable processors has been designed. The energy-efficient "KiloCore" chip has a maximum computation rate of 1.78 trillion instructions per second and contains 621 million transistors.
Google have released their latest monthly report on the antics of their self-driving car, and it appears to include a rather curious note on appropriate honking.
A soft actuator using electrically controllable membranes could pave the way for machines that are no danger to humans.
Defer Radical Self-Modification, Says Historian, to Avoid Destabilizing Civilization.
Robots build cars, clean carpets, and answer phones, but would you trust one to decide how you should be treated in a rest home or a hospital?
Robot. It’s the latest humanoid robot from Hanson Robotics. Love it or hate it their coming.
The supercomputer can be compared to the western cowboys that tamed wild horses, also called Wranglers, because the computer is capable of taming big data.
A new class of miniature biological robots, or bio-bots, has seen the light -- and is following where the light shines. The bio-bots are powered by muscle cells that have been genetically engineered to respond to light, giving researchers control over the bots
The rapidly increasing number of interconnected devices and systems today brings both benefits and concerns. In this column and a new MIT Professional Education class, the head of MIT's open and digital learning efforts discusses how to successfully navigate the IoT.
The technology in Atlas, the bipedal robot from Boston Dynamics, could change the future of disaster response and household ‘bots alike.
System could help prevent robots from overwhelming human teammates with information.
