‘Parkour’ robot dog can leap, jump, and crawl

Four-legged, dog-inspired quadruped robots are generally more agile than their hulking bipedal counterparts, but they have mostly failed to match the fluid grace and athleticism of their furry canine inspirations. Now, a new wall-scaling robot is pushing the boundary of what these quadrupeds are capable of, and it’s doing so with a bit of flair.

AI Detects Cancer via DNA Repeats in Liquid Biopsies

...have developed a machine learning strategy that has shown the potential to predict cases of early-stage lung or liver cancers in humans, by detecting repetitive genetic sequences in the genome in cancerous tissue, as well as in cell-free DNA (cfDNA). The team suggests that the new method could provide a noninvasive means of detecting and characterizing cancers, or monitoring response to anticancer therapy.
