Google DeepMind’s Joëlle Barral argues that AI is about to change how science is done, not just how fast papers are read. She sees large language models as new research tools that can search across fields, reason over data, and…
Tesla used Optimus to energize a flashy launch and to frame the company as an AI and robotics leader, yet the most eye catching robot moments relied on human control, not full autonomy.
Researchers at Meta’s Fundamental AI Research (FAIR) group have trained an artificial-intelligence system that can propose Lyapunov functions, the mathematical “energy maps” used to prove whether a dynamic system will stay stable over time. For more than 130 years, mathematicians…
Engineered Arts has introduced a new desktop humanoid robot called Azi and paired it with the well known robot Ameca for a short conversation on video. The clip shows the two robots speaking freely with natural timing and turn taking.…
At the 2024 World Congress on Innovation and Technology (WCIT) held in Yerevan, Armenia, from October 5 to 7, Nvidia presented ambitious projects aimed at democratizing humanoid robots equipped with advanced artificial intelligence. Rev Lebaredian, Nvidia’s vice president, stated that…
Researchers have produced the first complete wiring diagram of an adult animal brain, a female fruit fly brain, showing how every neuron connects to every other through synapses. This full brain map, called a connectome, provides a concrete blueprint of…

Fourier has just announced its new humanoid robot, the GR-2. Here are the specifications and features of the GR-1's successor, announced in late September 2024.
A new line of tools aims to let artificial intelligence carry out the full research cycle with little help from people. The project, often called an AI scientist, reads papers, forms a clear question, runs code-based tests, and drafts a…
