Many of nature’s best jumpers have long limbs and extended joints that help them propel themselves into the air by producing great amounts of kinetic energy in the stroke of a muscle. Many robotic jumpers are designed to work this same way, but researchers at the University of California, Santa Barbara have taken a unique […]

Advances in quantum science have the potential to revolutionize the way we live. Quantum computers hold promise for solving problems that are intractable today, and we may one day use quantum networks as hackerproof information highways. The post Researchers Develop New Platform for Customizable Quantum Devices appeared first on HPCwire.

Permafrost covers more than 10 percent of the planet and stores vast amounts of carbon in frozen soil, making it a crucial—and dangerous—carbon sink. Understanding how (and why) permafrost is changing with the climate is critical to estimating (and mitigating) carbon emissions, but these dynamics remain largely opaque to researchers. A trio of researchers are […]

Researchers say we’re on the cusp of “GoPro physics,” where a camera can point at an event and an algorithm can identify the underlying physics equation. Source: ‘Machine Scientists’ Distill the Laws of Physics From Raw Data | Quanta Magazine

Comau is expanding its product portfolio with the N-220-2.7 (N-220), a 220 kg payload robot featuring a modular set up, direct kinematics, absolute calibration and enhanced algorithms. These characteristics deliver ease of use, straightforward integration and faster post-installation maintenance while ensuring precision, flexibility, repeatability and minimum backlash, according to the company. The post Comau introduces […]

High-performance computing, or supercomputing, combined with new data-science approaches such as machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI) give scientists the ability to explore phenomena at levels of detail that would otherwise be impossible or impractical. This ranges from solving the most difficult physics calculations, to designing better drugs for cancer and COVID-19, to optimizing additive […]

A research team led by Dr. Gustavo Medina Tanco from the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM) will launch five mirco-robots to the moon this year on-board the Peregrine Lunar Lander. The post UNAM researchers to send micro-robots to the moon appeared first on The Robot Report.

Researchers at the Imperial College London have created a malleable robotic arm. The arm can be guided into shape manually, using mixed reality smart glasses and through motion tracking cameras to ensure precise positioning.  The post AR helps researchers twist robotic arm into shape appeared first on The Robot Report.

Love it or hate it, improv — though it may appear random — is often more purposeful and patterned than it may seem. And, improbable as it may seem, supercomputing is at play here, too: a team of Penn State-led researchers applied the university’s Roar supercomputer to map and analyze the patterns in the improvisational […]

Q-CTRL, a global leader in developing useful quantum technologies, today announced the results of hardware benchmarking experiments demonstrating its autonomous error-correction techniques increased the likelihood of quantum computing algorithm success over 1000x on real hardware, surpassing a 25x improvement reported last November.
