Whether in the kitchen or on a workshop floor, robot assistants that can fetch items for people could be extremely useful.

By incorporating insights from canine companions, researchers enable robots to use both language and gesture as inputs to help fetch the right objects.

POMDP, an AI framework inspired by dogs that allows robots to use human gestures and language to find objects with 89% accuracy.

As a researcher, I still remember the discomfort I felt every time I had to sacrifice laboratory animals for an experiment.

Photonic chips use light to process data instead of electricity, enabling faster communication speeds and greater bandwidth. Most of that light typically stays on the chip, trapped in optical wires, ...

Researchers at the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) have created a chip-scale device that can dynamically control the "handedness" of light as it passes ...

A new class of photonic devices enables the precise broadcasting of light from the chip into free space in a scalable way, which could lead to advanced displays, high-speed optical communications, and ...
