German researchers have created the world's first robot-based flight simulator using a large robotic arm and an airplane cockpit. The simulator provides a realistic flight experience for pilots, ...

Farming is a challenge under even the best of circumstances. Almost all conventional farmers use some combination of tillers, combines, seeders and plows to help get the difficult job done, but for ...

Training a robot in a simulation that allows it to remember how to get out of sticky situations lets it traverse difficult terrain more smoothly in real life. Joonho Lee at ETH Zurich in Switzerland ...

Imagine a seat attached to a platform, which is surrounded by a cage. So far, it sounds like the regular racing simulator, right? However, the cage is pulled by eight retracting cables and a high ...

We've been calling for this game to be made ever since the great simulation bubble of the 30s. Then you couldn't move for simulated versions of things. Cow tipping, toasting bread, making a bed, all ...

Advanced robots are expensive, and teaching them can be incredibly time-consuming. With the proper simulation, however, roboticists can train their machines to learn quickly. A team from the Robotic ...
