Neuron-powered computer chips can now be easily programmed to play a first-person shooter game, bringing biological computers a step closer to useful applications ...

Researchers are no longer just simulating brains in silicon, they are wiring living human neurons into machines and asking them to compute. Tiny clusters of brain cells, grown from stem cells and ...

Variable admittance control (VAC) has emerged as a pivotal framework in realising safe, efficient, and responsive human–robot interaction (HRI). This dynamic control strategy adjusts the robot’s ...

A hotly-anticipated line of humanoid robots is giving a whole new meaning to the concept of "stranger danger". The 1X NEO robot is set to become one of the first mass-marketed humanoid robots ...

Fraunhofer has developed the NeurOSmart technology platform to enable safe and intelligent collaboration between humans and robots in industrial environments. The system combines LIDAR-based sensor ...

In a town on the shores of Lake Geneva sit clumps of living human brain cells for hire. These blobs, about the size of a grain of sand, can receive electrical signals and respond to them — much as ...
