A new formula from Army scientists is leading to new insights on how to build an energy-efficient legged teammate for dismounted warfighters.
Researchers have demonstrated ''giant flexoelectricity'' in soft elastomers that could improve robot movement range and make self-powered pacemakers a real possibility.
E-Mail COLLEGE PARK, Md. -- The U.S. Army plans to cooperate in artificial intelligence research with teams led by the University of Maryland, College Park and in partnership with the University of Maryland, Baltimore County. The cooperative agreement brings together a collaborative of nearly 30 diverse experts in engineering, robotics, computer science, operations research, modeling and simulation, and cybersecurity. With the Army's goal of seeking transformational advances in artificial intelligence and autonomy, Army and academic officials said this partnership will "accelerate the devel...

Why aren't other animals, such as horses, as fast? While we haven't yet figured out why, we have some idea about how--cheetahs, as it turns out, make use of a "galloping" gait at their fastest speeds, involving two different types ...
Skoltech researchers used the resources of the university's Zhores supercomputer to study a new method of generating gamma-ray combs for nuclear and X-ray photonics and spectroscopy of new materials.
