Duke Engineers Create Lego-Like Cubes with Programmable, ‘Living-Like’ Mechanics
Engineers at Duke University have created modular building blocks whose stiffness, damping, and motion can be reprogrammed on demand - without changing their shape.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) - Page 9
Artificial Intelligence (AI) refers to computational systems designed to perform tasks that typically require human intelligence, such as perception, reasoning, learning, and decision-making. In the robotics and automation ecosystem, AI acts as the cognitive layer that enables machines to interpret data, adapt to environments, and operate with increasing autonomy. This topic covers core AI disciplines including machine learning,…
