Researchers at UC Berkeley and UC San Francisco are making a huge breakthrough in brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) with their latest brain-to-voice neuroprosthesis. They’re working on restoring speech for people with severe paralysis by turning brain signals into real-time, natural-sounding speech. 

One big challenge they had to tackle was cutting down the delay time between…

Researchers at Cornell University are trying to develop robots that look and move more like living organisms. This is done by integrating energy storage directly into their structures. Thus they are called “embodied energy,” this makes robots more efficient and lighter and give an organic look to the robot.

The jellyfish robot has unique blood pumping mechanism called a redox flow…

A robot with 16 legs and a 360-degree camera is developed to operate in challenging environments like sewage pipelines and other confined spaces. This sewer maintenance robot is developed by the Tokyo-based company Tmsuk Corporation. Building upon its predecessor, the SPD1, the SPD-X introduces significant advancements in durability, stability, and functionality.

The new SPD-X, powered…

Decommissioning the nuclear waste from the sites safely has been a big task ever since the first nuclear disaster in history. Many have proposed the idea of robotic technology, which will make the rescue operation fast and less dangerous. Advancements have been made in this field to make the technology more efficient and precise in rescue operations.

Controlling the robotic arm or talking to AI just with your thoughts is now a reality because of the new advancement made by a Chinese startup called NeuroXess. Their latest brain-computer interface (BCI) is trying to help the people with disabilities by making it easy for them to interact with the world using thought-to-text technology. The technology translates the…
