Aug 14, 2020 (Nanowerk News) People rarely use just one sense to understand the world, but robots usually only rely on vision and, increasingly, touch. Carnegie Mellon University researchers find that robot perception could improve markedly by adding another sense: hearing. In what they say is the first large-scale study...

Researchers design efficient low-cost system for producing power at night
Aug 13, 2020 (Nanowerk News) Researchers have designed an off-grid, low-cost modular energy source that can efficiently produce power at night. The system uses commercially available technology and could eventually help meet the need for nighttime lighting in urban areas or provide lighting in developing countries. Although solar power brings...
