Extensive experiments demonstrate significant reductions in motion tracking errors (up to 52.7% in sim-to-real tasks) and successful deployment ofdiverse agile skills—including agile jumps and kicks—on the Unitree G1 humanoid. Our work advances the frontier of sim-to-real transfer for agile whole-body control, paving the way for versatile humanoid robots in real-world applications

The new core-shell nanoparticles are highly versatile and are used in printing sensor arrays that measure levels of multiple amino acids, metabolites, hormones, or drugs in sweat or bodily fluids simply by using multiple nanoparticle "inks" in a single array.

…cell-specific gene expression patterns, which ensure that a brain cell is different from a skin cell, are partly determined by the three-dimensional structure of the genetic material, which controls the accessibility of each gene. MIT chemists have now come up with a new way to determine those 3D genome structures, using generative artificial intelligence. Their technique can predict thousands of structures in just minutes, making it much speedier than existing experimental methods for analyzing the structures.

In April, Beijing will witness humanoid robots running alongside human participants in a half-marathon

The glowing protein, which is similar to those found in jellyfish and corals, may help in the development of new medicines, researchers say.

It comes with two highly dexterous arms, which are capable of lifting and manipulating objects weighing up to 200 kilograms (441 pounds). This strength and precision are essential for handling heavy equipment and radioactive materials within decommissioning sites.

The robot, which will be introduced in coming weeks, can be operated from 600m away and can spray 2,000 litres of water per minute.

GenAI has emerged as a powerful tool for learning and creatively using existing data to generate new design ideas. Learning from past experiences, this technique can analyze complex structural drawings, combine requirement texts, integrate mechanical and empirical knowledge, and create fresh designs.

Device that links neural signals to fine movements provides unprecedented control over speed and direction in a video-game obstacle course.

MatterGen, a generative AI tool that tackles materials discovery from a different angle. Instead of screening the candidates…It can generate materials with desired chemistry, mechanical, electronic, or magnetic properties, as well as combinations of different constraints.
