AI-driven framework creates defect-tolerant materials with complex functionality Many industrial products — from car bumpers to aerospace panels and medical implants — owe their performance to lightweight, cellular materials. These hard-working synthetics are engineered to meet specific functionality goals, but too…
New 3-D printing technique can make autonomous robots in a single step
Building a robot is hard. Building one that can sense its environment and learn how to get around on its own is even harder. But UCLA engineers took on an even bigger challenge. Not only did they create autonomous robots, they…
