UCL study reveals how generative AI elucidates memory’s role in learning, reliving, and imaginative planning.

In a breakthrough research, UCL scientists reveal how generative AI models mirror brain functions in memory and imagination.

A study pitting human children against large language models in basic reasoning problems revealed AIs to have one big blind spot: innovation.

A new study suggests different species may rely on a shared principle for neural network formation.

In all species, brain function relies on an intricate network of connections that allows neurons to send information back and forth between one another, commanding thought and physical activity. But within those networks a small number of neurons share much stronger connections to one another than all the others. These abnormally strong connections—known as “heavy tailed” based on the shape of their distribution—are thought to play an outsized role in brain function.

The system combines trajectory optimization and enhanced reinforcement learning to improve how ANYmal chooses its leg positions and footholds.

In the field of robotics, the development of legged robots stands as a formidable challenge. The dynamic and agile movements observed in animals prove difficult to replicate through conventional human-made methods.

Researchers at ETH Zurich have now used an innovative control framework that has helped an autonomous robot, ANYmal, to traverse challenging terrains seamlessly.

Negotiating surfaces ranging from staircases to foam blocks and rugged terrain, this robotic quadruped demonstrates a newfound agility and adaptability, showcasing the effectiveness of its upgraded control system.
