Kaveh Hamed shares a photo of his six-year-old dog Telli in high-speed motion, a source of inspiration for his bio-inspired thinking around legged locomotion. Two years ago, Kaveh Hamed saw his son ...

Researchers at Virginia Tech are developing a way to use computer algorithms and sensors to help robot animals move more naturally like their real-life counterparts. Kaveh Hamed and his colleagues at ...

Researchers developed a deep learning neural network to aid the design of soft-bodied robots. The algorithm optimizes the arrangement of sensors on the robot, enabling it to complete tasks as ...

Large language models (LLMs), such as the model underpinning the functioning of OpenAI's platform ChatGPT, are now widely used to tackle a wide range of tasks, ranging from sourcing information to the ...

Imagine a robot that doesn’t just follow commands but actually plans its actions, adjusts its movements on the go, and learns from feedback—much like a human would. This may sound like a far-fetched ...
