It doesn't know what it doesn't know. Researchers have now developed an AI that learns by asking people questions. Will robots soon help care for the elderly? There is already a chronic shortage of qualified staff in the nursing sector, and demographic change will only exacerbate this development. Consequently, a research team at the German Aerospace Center is developing robots for use in nursing homes. New robot jumps like an antelope A new four-legged robot with artificial intelligence can seamlessly change its gait. To avoid falls, the robot switches between walking, trotting and jumping depending on the situation. Researchers at the University of Zurich develop extremely agile drones Researchers at the University of Zurich (UZH) have developed a system that enables flying robots to be very agile. A new type of camera allows autonomous drones to respond much faster than if they were controlled by a human pilot. Researchers develop trunk robot Inspired by elephant trunks, researchers at EPFL have developed a new robot. Because the trunk robot is made of soft, pliable material, it is safe for interaction with humans. Crash-proof drone Researchers in Zurich have developed a drone that does not crash – even if one of its rotors fails. Nimble robot reflexively organises cluttered spaces Instead of starting over after a failed attempt, the pick-and-place robot continuously adapts its behaviour. First microsurgery with robot Pioneering micro-surgery: At the University Hospital in Zurich, a patient was given the finest connections between lymph vessels and veins - by robot. Swiss researchers print self-healing skin for robot Swiss researchers have used a 3D printer to print a skin for a robot that can mend itself after being damaged.
