Turning a chair into a table, or vice versa, might sound like somewhat of a magic trick. In this case, zero magic is involved, just plenty of complex geometry and machine learning. Called LOGAN, the ...

Called LOGAN, the deep neural network, i.e., a machine of sorts, can learn to transform the shapes of two different objects, for example, a chair and a table, in a natural way, without seeing any ...

Researchers with the University of Zurich have created a flying drone designed specifically for rescue missions. Though aerial vehicles designed for emergency situations aren't anything new, the ...

A robot made of several smaller robotic pieces can autonomously transform its body into shapes best suited for a particular task. The bot primarily consists of wheeled, cubic “modules” that link up ...
