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 ...

Formless 'slime' robots that shape-change to complete complex tasks – it sounds like science fantasy. However, MIT researchers have developed a machine-learning technique that brings shape-changing ...

University of Amsterdam scientists have created metamaterials that can autonomously learn, store, and adapt shapes without a central processor. Built from chains of motorized hinges that share ...

The new metamaterials can learn to take on any shape – here, they have learned the letters that spell ‘learn’, or in Dutch: ‘leren’. In a new Nature Physics publication, University of Amsterdam ...

Machine learning is a subfield of artificial intelligence, which explores how to computationally simulate (or surpass) humanlike intelligence. While some AI techniques (such as expert systems) use ...
