LARAMIE — Students at Laramie High School this year will use drones and robots to help them learn geometry, algebra, trigonometry and calculus. The school got a state grant of nearly $69,000 to ...
When students are trying to do math or equations like y=l+2b, it's easy for them to get frustrated. But to get those answers, UC Davis has now come up with a way to help them, and that's by r-o-b-o-t.
Your robot, the one you paid good money for, has chosen to kill you. Better that, its collision-response algorithms decided, than a high-speed, head-on collision with a smaller, non-robotic compact.
Forty-three high school seniors who took part in an exam-taking competition in Chengdu, China, officially outperformed the math robot they were up against. The robot, developed by China's Chengdu ...
