A new study suggests that something as simple as adding eyes to a humanoid robot can dramatically change how people perceive it. Researchers from Tampere University in Finland and the University of ...

When interacting with highly realistic humanoid robots, the simple presence of eyes strongly shapes how humans perceive the machine’s mental abilities. A recent study published in Consciousness and ...

Many robots are equipped with cameras to allow them to see the world. These digital eyes record sequences of still images which must somehow be interpreted as motion. A popular approach is optical ...

The breakthrough builds on neuromorphic engineering, a field that designs hardware modeled after the human brain. Unlike traditional processors, which separate memory and computation, neuromorphic ...

Human hands are a wonder of nature and unmatched in the animal kingdom. They can twist caps, flick switches, handle tiny objects with ease, and perform thousands of tasks every day. Robot hands ...

Researchers from Beihang University and the Beijing Institute of Technology in China developed a brain-inspired chip which enables robots to detect and react to movement at four times the speed ...
