New research suggests robots appear more persuasive when pretending to be human
When bots disclose their non-human nature, their efficiency is compromised
Army researcher promotes cooperation between humans, autonomous machines
The trust between humans and autonomous machines is a top priority for Army researchers — as machines become integral to society, it is critical to understand the impact on human decision-making. Dr. Celso M. de Melo, a computer scientist from…
Preterm children have similar temperament to children who were institutionally deprived
Children who are born preterm or at very low birth weight have similar temperament difficulties as children who were institutionally deprived early in life Researchers have found that a child’s temperament is sensitive to experiences in the early stages of…
Nuclear warheads? This robot can find them
Trust, but verify. — Ronald Reagan Picture a swarm of autonomous, three-foot rolling robots armed with smart detectors to support nuclear safeguards and verify arms-control agreements. The prototype of such robots, being developed by the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE)…
Why only some post-stroke survivors can ‘copy what I say’
Certain brain regions must be intact in stroke survivors with aphasia if they are to copy what another speaker says, report researchers from the Medical University of South Carolina and elsewhere in Brain

Magnets for the second dimension
If you’ve ever tried to put several really strong, small cube magnets right next to each other on a magnetic board, you’ll know that you just can’t do it. What happens is that the magnets always arrange themselves in a…
NJIT’s Brooke Flammang wins 2019 Young Investigator Award
Brooke Flammang, assistant professor of biological sciences at NJIT, has been named winner of the 2019 Steven Vogel Young Investigator Award by the scientific journal Bioinspiration & Biomimetics . Flammang is the third-ever winner of the international award, started in…

Brain enlightens the origin of human hand’s skill
Using non-dominant hand activates both sides of your brain
Sounds of mosquito mating rituals could lead to quieter drones
Research could also lead to nontoxic method using sound to diminish mosquito breeding
Flexible yet sturdy robot is designed to ‘grow’ like a plant
Its extendable appendage can meander through tight spaces and then lift heavy loads
AI could help diagnose dogs suffering from chronic pain and Chiari-like malformation
CKCS are predisposed to CM – a disease which causes deformity of the skull, the neck (cranial cervical vertebrae) and, in some extreme cases, lead to spinal cord damage called syringomyelia (SM). While SM is straightforward to diagnose, pain associated…
Never fear, humans have a place in the digital future
The future impacts of automation and artificial intelligence on the lives of human beings will be addressed at a symposium in Brisbane (Australia) Nov. 13-15, 2019
UCLouvain researcher makes the heart of Mars speak
For 20 years, Véronique Dehant, a space scientist at University of Louvain (UCLouvain) and the Royal Observatory of Belgium, has been working on understanding the Earth’s core. In a few months, she will be able to complete her research by…
Scientists should have sex and gender on the brain
Thinking about sex and gender would help scientists improve their research, a new article published today argues. Writing in a special 150th anniversary edition of Nature , five experts say these factors are too often ignored. They say incorporating sex…
Showing robots ‘tough love’ helps them succeed, finds new USC study
Humans acting in an adversarial manner towards robotic systems can actually improve their robustness
A “Worker” That Flies: Chinese Researchers Design Novel Flying Robot
Skyscrapers are rising rapidly around the world, continuously transforming city skylines. However, their repair and maintenance is becoming more and more difficult. So, who can safely perform the job? Will a friendly neighborhood Spider-Man help out? No, but Chinese researchers…
AI learns to design
AI agents imitate engineers to construct effective new designs using visual cues like humans do
A new machine learning approach detects esophageal cancer better than current methods
Researchers at Dartmouth’s Norris Cotton Cancer Center have created a deep learning model that can accurately identify cancerous esophagus tissue on microscopy images without the time-consuming manual data input required for current methods
NUS deep-learning AI system puts Singapore on global map of big data analytics
A team of researchers from the National University of Singapore (NUS) has put Singapore on the global map of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and big data analytics. Their open-source project, called Apache SINGA, “graduated” from the Apache Incubator on 16 October…
On the way to intelligent microrobots
Researchers at the Paul Scherrer Institute PSI and ETH Zurich have developed a micromachine that can perform different actions. First nanomagnets in the components of the microrobots are magnetically programmed and then the various movements are controlled by magnetic fields.…
