For years, teaching a robot a new job meant one of two slow paths: hand-write the control software, or collect mountains of demonstrations. A UC Berkeley roboticist now says a third path is opening, one where teams of AI agents write the robot's program, rehearse it in simulation and fix it when it fails.
Ken Goldberg, a professor of engineering at Berkeley, and Spencer Huang, director of robotics engineering at NVIDIA, call the approach agentic robotics. Berkeley News described it on Novem...

Wikipearls: Bite-sized foods wrapped in edible Food packaging
WikiFoods, Inc. has developed a revolutionary, plastic-free food and beverage packaging technology that delivers Triple Good called WikiPearls™ which are good for you, good for the environment, and just plain good.
Created by David Edwards, a Harvard professor and biomedical engineer, the intention of the WikiPearl is to kill the packaging and make its relationship with food symbiotic.
WikiPearl skins are inspired by the way nature packages fruits and vegetables. These skins are delicious ...

A 3-D Printer that can Sculpt Using Anything From Silicone to Nutella
Edible materials can make experimenting with 3-D printing more fun for kids.
The latest technology from Ontario-based Structur3D Printing lets printers work with a wide variety of gel materials to produce everything from silicone-based orthotic shoe inserts to custom cake toppers printed from icing sugar.
The technology of 3D printing machinery that carves or sculpts 3D objects from a block of material using a computer generated design has been around for years. Although fast and accurate,...
