这种因肠道血流中断导致组织坏死的急症，死亡率高达55%，超过许多癌症。更可怕的是，它的症状和肠胃炎、阑尾炎等常见胃病极为相似，——腹痛、恶心、腹泻，以医生往往要做一系列复杂检查才能确诊，而宝贵的救治时间就在这个过程中悄悄溜走。CT血管造影需要大型设备 ...

When Rodney Brooks talks about robotics and artificial intelligence, you should listen. Currently the Panasonic Professor of Robotics Emeritus at MIT, he also co-founded three key companies, including ...

Picture a robot capable of changing its shape on demand, squishing, bending, or stretching to perform various tasks like navigating tight spaces or retrieving objects. While this may sound like ...

Why aren’t there more robots in homes? This a surprising complex question — and our homes are surprisingly complex places. A big part of the reason autonomous systems are thriving on warehouse and ...

Researchers at MIT have developed a novel AI technique that simplifies the process of contact-rich manipulation planning for robots. The method involves using an AI technique called "smoothing" to ...

No single robot can perform all tasks, yet bringing a bunch of different robots along on Moon missions would be quite inefficient. The WORMS setup offers an alternative, in the form of components that ...

MIT's Cheetah robot has finally been let off the leash -- and boy can it run. Watch as it bounds across a grass field, and even jumps over a hurdle. It isn't quite up to the evolutionary magnificence ...

Plenty of companies have demoed home robots, but few, if any, have actually been released. The truth is that even the most advanced robots aren't very good at interacting with objects and environments ...

Here’s an interesting comment from MIT’s Alfonso Parra Rubio, “Treating soft versus hard robotics is a false dichotomy.” For, I suppose, obvious reasons, thinking around technology tends to be a ...
