The Surprising Fix for Robot Traffic Jams

Wheeled Robots Crowd Density ExperimentHarvard researchers found that adding a little randomness to robot movements can prevent gridlock and dramatically boost efficiency in crowded swarms. Imagine a swarm of robots sent into a tight space to handle an urgent job, such as cleaning up an oil spill or assembling complex equipment. At first, adding more robots speeds things up. [...]

Scientists Let People Play Video Games Using Only Their Thoughts

Brain Neural Network NeuroscienceResearchers developed a brain-controlled gaming system that learns from the brain’s natural wiring, enabling fast BCI training and potentially transforming medicine, mental health, and human-computer interaction. It may not be long before video game controllers become optional. Researchers at Yale University have developed a new brain-computer interface (BCI) that allows people to play video games [...]
