Pneumatic artificial muscle (PAM), as a key driving component of soft robot, faces the difficulty of high precision control because of its strong nonlinear and hysteresis characteristics. This paper ...

Quantum computers still can’t do much. Almost every time researchers have found something the high-tech machines should one day excel at, a classical algorithm comes along that can do it just as well ...

Vector quantization, stock dips & RAMageddon – the real story behind how a memory compression algorithm went viral ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. If you’ve been making the same commute for a long time, you’ve probably settled on what seems like the best route. But “best” is a ...

A few years back, Google made waves when it claimed that some of its hardware had achieved quantum supremacy, performing operations that would be effectively impossible to simulate on a classical ...

Algorithms have taken on an almost mythical significance in the modern world. They determine what you see on social media and when browsing online, help form people’s belief systems, and impact the ...
