Artificial Intelligence

Engineers used adversarial inverse reinforcement learning to train robots to respond dynamically to uneven terrain and loss of limbs, a training system transferrable to dissimilar robots. And they did so using a stick insect as a role model.

I have issues with AI in general, but the biggest gripe is with being forced to interact with the LLM from Google, a company with enough money and talented staff to do something great – but has instead produced a model the AI hates too.

Can you imagine walking into an open-plan office on a busy weekday, seeing people at their desks – and hearing practically nothing? Like not even the staccato rhythm of fingers on a keyboard? That might be where AI-powered technologies lead us.

One of AI's many promises is that it will help us do everything better. Work faster, research more seamlessly, and perhaps be more financially prudent? Well, not exactly. Research suggests that AI-assisted shopping may end up making you spend more.

This cute little robot duck isn't actually a toy. It's actually a platform for budding roboticists to train on and develop skills. But heck, this might be the most fun design for a hackable machine we've seen yet.

AI-generated content, which has proliferated the internet, has become so good that it's becoming increasingly difficult to distinguish, raising transparency and security concerns. To address this, Claude has begun marking its output for detection.

Insta360 is calling the X6 the biggest leap in its X-series yet, bringing 8K50fps 360-degree video, larger sensors, AI-powered editing that works while charging, longer battery life, built-in storage, and tougher replaceable lenses.

AI-equipped helicopters went on the offensive off the islands of Hawaii as the US Navy and Lockheed Martin set two modified Sikorsky MH-60R Seahawk helicopters to hunt submarines using a new AI sonar system as part of the RIMPAC 2026 naval exercises.

Modern technology lets us get what we want with one click. A London-based design studio has created an unpredictable speaker with a tiny digital world inside that carries on by itself, generating ever-changing sounds that users have no control over.

ChatGPT’s upgraded voice mode can listen while it speaks, survive interruptions and reach into the tools you already use. The everyday improvements are useful, but the glimpse of what comes next is where things get interesting.

Looks like every tech firm worth their salt's gotta make AI glasses, and Samsung's finally ready to throw its hat in the ring. Its intelligent eyewear pairs with the brand's smart watch and phone to bring a host of features right up to your face.

The Acemate S10 is one of the most ambitious tennis training products to hit the market. Unlike a ball machine, this robot coach is designed to act more like a human – zipping across the court to catch your return, then firing a ball back at you.
