Researchers create an autonomously navigating robot on wheels

Credit: Joonho Lee Fast-moving autonomous mobile robots can help deliver goods to different locations, addressing disruptions in product supply chains. Nevertheless, wheeled or legged robots alone may not be sufficient to carry out deliveries both efficiently and independently. Researchers at ETH Zurich’s Robotic Systems Lab recently introduced a new robot design that combines the capabilities … Read more

To 6G and beyond: engineers unlock the next generation of wireless communications

AI headphones allow the wearer to listen to one person in a crowd just by looking at them once

A team from the University of Washington has developed an artificial intelligence system that allows a user wearing headphones to watch someone talking for three to five seconds and then hear only the registered speaker’s voice in real time, even if the listener is away moves around in noisy places and no more. looks at … Read more
