  Boston MA (SPX) Jul 22, 2019 Every year, robots get more and more life-like. Solar-powered bees fly on lithe wings, humanoids stick backflips, and teams of soccer bots strategize how to dribble, pass, and score. And, the more researchers discover about how living creatures move, the more machines can imitate them all the way down to their smallest molecules. "We have these amazing machines already in our bodies, and they work so well," said Pallav Kosuri. "We just don't know exactly how they work." For decades, research ... read more |
