Real-time simulation of deformable objects in surgical procedures is rapidly transforming the landscape of medical training and preoperative planning. These simulations offer an interactive platform ...

Deformable object manipulation in robotics is an increasingly critical research area, addressing the challenge of handling materials that do not maintain a fixed shape under manipulation. Unlike rigid ...

The world's first robotic laser adaptive optics system, developed by a team led by University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa astronomer Christoph Baranec, will soon find a new home at the venerable 2.1-meter (83 ...

An artificial intelligence (AI) technology has been developed that enables robots to skillfully handle objects that can freely change shape, like wires and rubber bands. This breakthrough is expected ...

Imagine a ball bouncing down a flight of stairs. Now think about a cascade of water flowing down those same stairs. The ball and the water behave very differently, and it turns out that your brain has ...
