What does it take to build the world's fastest maze-solving robot? Discover the incredible engineering, AI algorithms, and ...

The Indie250 celebrations continue this Indie-Penance Day, as Kotaku celebrates the birth of our great indie nation some 250,000 years ago. (Look, I’m British, I barely understa ...

A little over a decade ago, AI researchers Joel Lehman and Kenneth O. Stanley set small robots fitted with sensors loose in a ...

It's a simple word that has developed a sinister connotation: algorithm. For many of us, algorithms help determine what we watch, read and listen to — in the process, confirming our tastes and biases, ...

In the Micromouse competition, tiny autonomous robots race to solve complex mazes as quickly as possible. Some of the fastest robots can complete the course in as little as six seconds, using sensors, ...

The study, conducted by Brookhaven theoretical physicist Weiguo Yin and described in a recent paper published in Physical Review B, is the first paper emerging from the "AI Jam Session" earlier this ...

Personalized algorithms may quietly sabotage how people learn, nudging them into narrow tunnels of information even when they start with zero prior knowledge. In the study, participants using ...

As the world races to build artificial superintelligence, one maverick bioengineer is testing how much unprogrammed intelligence may already be lurking in our simplest algorithms to determine whether ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. If you want to solve a tricky problem, it often helps to get organized. You might, for example, break the problem into pieces and tackle ...

Children as young as 4 years old are capable of finding efficient solutions to complex problems, such as independently inventing sorting algorithms developed by computer scientists. The scientists ...
