Physical AI to pave the way to human-robot ecosystems

Posted on by Haptic

The research suggests that teaching materials science, mechanical engineering, computer science, biology and chemistry as a combined discipline could help students develop the skills they need to create lifelike artificially intelligent (AI) robots as researchers. Known as Physical AI, these robots would be designed to look and behave like humans or other animals while possessing Read more about Physical AI to pave the way to human-robot ecosystems[…]

Super Steel which can address a major challenge in safety-critical industrial application

Posted on by Haptic

The Super Steel project led by Professor Huang Mingxin at the Department of Mechanical Engineering of the University of Hong Kong (HKU), with collaborators at the Lawrence Berkeley National Lab (LBNL), has made important breakthrough in its new super D&P steel (produced using a new deformed and partitioned method) to greatly enhance its fracture resistance Read more about Super Steel which can address a major challenge in safety-critical industrial application[…]

Vibration-insulating devices for the latest diesel locomotives

Posted on by Haptic

The scientists at Samara University are developing and preparing a vibration-insulating system for the latest diesel locomotives to be produced by the mechanical engineering holding Group Sinara JSC, Sinara Transport Machines (STM). The vibration-insulating devices will be made of metal rubber (MR material), a unique damping material developed by the Samara scientists and produced in Read more about Vibration-insulating devices for the latest diesel locomotives[…]

Creating a new kind of metallic glass

Posted on by Haptic

By shrinking samples of metallic glass to nanoscale size, Yale researchers have discovered they can create new materials with potentially new applications. The research, published today in Nature Communications, was conducted as part of Yale’s Center for Research on Interface Structures and Phenomena (CRISP), and led by Judy Cha, the Carol and Douglas Melamed Assistant Professor Read more about Creating a new kind of metallic glass[…]
