Researchers at University of Missouri are developing software that allows drones to fly independently, perceiving and interacting with their environment while achieving specific goals. This technology has the potential to assist in mapping and monitoring applications, such as 3D or 4D advanced imagery for disaster response.
A new study published in The Journal of Experimental Social Psychology reveals that high-tech bots are more likely to be held responsible for civilian deaths, even when the incidents are identical. Researchers found that people perceive robots as more culpable if described in a more advanced way.
Australian researchers developed an algorithm that can intercept and shut down man-in-the-middle cyberattacks on unmanned military robots. The algorithm, tested on a replica of a US army combat ground vehicle, was 99% successful in preventing malicious attacks.
A new AI system uses artificial neural networks to recognize objects more accurately and stably, despite changing visual inputs. The system mimics human eye movements to improve machine vision capabilities, reducing errors in self-driving cars and other applications.
Scientists have discovered a way to create materials that can snap and reset themselves, moving without the need for motors or external power. This breakthrough could enable future military robots to operate independently, reducing reliance on batteries and motors.
Researchers at Sandia National Laboratories create a hopping robot that can leap up to 20 feet in the air and travel five miles on a single tank of gas. The robot's unique combustion-driven piston allows it to make corrections after each jump, making it suitable for challenging environments.
Researchers at Vanderbilt University have designed and constructed a small robotic 'bug' that can scuttle more than half a mile on a single battery charge. The robot, which is about three inches long and weighs two ounces, uses an unusual material called piezoelectric ceramic to achieve its motion.
Researchers at the University of Minnesota have developed miniature robots that can bounce, climb stairs and explore buildings. The robots can gather information via radio links and be deployed in groups to provide diverse perspectives on a situation.
Researchers have developed a mobile robot tracking system that can predict escape routes and optimize view angles to catch moving objects. The system uses laser rangefinders and 3D mapping to track targets, making it difficult for humans and robots to evade detection.
