Engineers from Britain implemented a novel approach to improve how robots grip and handle fragile, slippery or asymmetric objects. The breakthrough slip-prevention method shows impressive results and ...

A robotic hand developed at EPFL can pick up 24 different objects with human-like movements that emerge spontaneously, thanks to compliant materials and structures rather than programming. When you ...

Human brains are designed to detect faces as quickly as possible, which can lead to the perception of ‘false faces’ Faces: we see them in clouds, electrical outlets and even a $28,000 toasted sandwich ...

Humans perceive aesthetic beauty in inanimate objects partly because the brain is highly attuned to patterns. The visual system is especially sensitive to symmetry and proportion. When a form is ...

Archaeologists excavating 400,000-year-old rock in western Ukraine have uncovered fragments of what could be the oldest human-made ivory objects ever found. These artefacts would have been too soft to ...

Workers are part of a growing pipeline where human actions are recorded and converted into training data for AI systems and ...
