Google DeepMind has introduced two new AI models, Gemini Robotics and Gemini Robotics-ER, based on its Gemini 2.0 large language model. These models are designed to bring AI into the physical world by enabling robots to perform complex tasks with greater generality, interactivity, and dexterity. Gemini Robotics focuses on combining vision, language, and action to…
A Chinese robotics company, EngineAI, has achieved a groundbreaking milestone in humanoid robotics. Their PM01 robot successfully performed the world’s first front flip, a feat that is significantly more challenging than a backflip due to the need for precise balance and control. This accomplishment highlights advancements in intelligent control algorithms and sensor technology. The PM01…
The article discusses Evo 2, the largest generative AI model for biology, developed by scientists at the Arc Institute, Stanford University, and Nvidia. Trained on 128,000 genomes, Evo 2 can write whole chromosomes and small genomes from scratch. It also analyzes DNA mutations affecting proteins, RNA, and overall health, particularly in non-coding regions linked to…
The article introduces NanoCas, a miniaturized version of the CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing tool developed by Mammoth Biosciences. NanoCas reduces the size of the Cas9 component to about one-third of its original size, enabling it to be delivered more effectively to various tissues in the body. This advancement addresses the delivery challenges of traditional CRISPR systems,…
