For many people, gastrointestinal (GI) disorders are chronic and life-altering conditions. Yet despite their prevalence, doctors are often challenged by patients experiencing persistent symptoms with no way to accurately identify and diagnose diseases.

The hand is perhaps the most utilized human tool. Its dexterity, fine motor skills and sensory feedback make it the interface between the body and the environment. Reproducing this fascinating functionality in an artificial hand is one of the greatest challenges in robotics, and at the same time one of its most difficult tasks. This tutorial explains how drive technology helps with the symbiosis of technology and biology, allowing for the coordination of complex movements, the use of different gripping techniques, and the precise use of force.

Television was king during the second half of the 20^th century — what do you know about the history of the technology?

A new AI model called Multimodal AI for ventricular Arrhythmia Risk Stratification (MAARS) is much better than doctors at identifying patients likely to experience cardiac arrest.

As weather-related catastrophes and urban vulnerabilities intensify, there is a growing interest in AI-driven tools for predicting weather patterns and disaster response. Engineers at Texas A&M University have developed CLARKE (Computer vision and Learning for Analysis of Roads and Key Edifices) — a system that uses drone imagery and artificial intelligence to rapidly assess damage after hurricanes and floods.
