Women are an underrepresented group within the robotics industry. Today, women make up 48% of the total workforce and just 34% of the STEM workforce, according to the National Girls Collaborative Project. When it comes to engineering and robotics roles, the number is...

As the birthplace of artificial intelligence (AI) and a global leader in frontier AI research, Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) has selected Google Public Sector as its partner for large-scale computing. This collaboration will enable CMU’s world-class research to...

Autonomous systems are rewriting the playbook for unmanned aerial vehicles, or UAVs. What was once the domain of science fiction is now unfolding. Drones are flying themselves, making split-second decisions, and executing missions with a level of precision no human...

With the success of generative AI, there has been much discussion around the potential for bringing the kind of flexible intelligence found in large language models into the physical world. This is often called “embodied AI,” and it is one of the most profoundly...

The first-ever 1,000 Scientist AI Jam Session, hosted at nine DOE labs including LLNL, immersed scientists in a full-day, hands-on collaboration with OpenAI to evaluate some of the company’s most advanced AI reasoning models on real-world scientific problems. During...

Researchers from the College of Engineering and Computer Science at Florida Atlantic University proposed an alternative, autonomous method of observing Arctic ice. The researchers say this method holds promise for improving the autonomy of marine vehicles, aiding in...

Using a novel computational modeling technique to test theoretical quantum physics, a team of researchers at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory have discovered properties of the atomic nucleus at new levels of detail — illuminating behavior of...

Using the Frontier supercomputer at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory, researchers have developed a new technique that predicts nuclear properties in record detail. The study revealed how the structure of a nucleus relates to the force that...

For decades, scientists assumed that only large ocean temperature patterns covering 200 kilometers (124 miles) or more could strongly influence storms. Now, by leveraging advances in computing power, a team of scientists from UC San Diego’s Scripps Institution of...

The robotics industry, with its rapid growth and transformative potential, presents unique intellectual property (IP) challenges and opportunities. To be successful, entrepreneurs and executives in the industry must strategically leverage IP rights to protect...

The robotics industry has long been captivated by the idea of humanoid robots—machines that mimic human appearance and movement. While this vision aligns with science fiction, it’s not necessarily the best approach for solving real-world automation challenges. In...
