It doesn’t have a flux capacitor may not be able to travel through time like its Hollywood inspiration, but Stanford University’s autonomous DeLorean MARTY can cut some wicked donuts without the aid of a driver.
In this fifth edition, we are excited to feature robot progress in human-robot interaction, agile movement, enhanced training methods, soft robotics, brain surgery, medical navigation, and ecological research.
Researchers who created a soft robot that could navigate simple mazes without human or computer direction have now built on that work, creating a “brainless” soft robot that can navigate more complex and dynamic environments.
