What are the computer engineers and industry-related experts’ opinion of artificial intelligence? Do the recent depictions in science fiction of the technology match up with reality?
Robots clean rivers and sort waste, monitor ecosystems, and inspect renewable-energy infrastructure. But even the greenest robot has an environmental footprint.
EPFL engineers have designed acoustic cavities that convert sound waves into thrust, propelling small robots and ultralight aerial vehicles without on-board actuators or electronics.
