| Stress transmitter wakes your brain more than 100 times a night -- and it is perfectly normal Posted: 14 Jul 2022 07:30 AM PDT You may think that a good night's sleep should be uninterrupted.

In a new study, the researchers demonstrate how their robot created a kinematic model of itself, and then used its self-model to plan motion, reach goals, and avoid obstacles in a variety of situations. It even automatically recognized and then compensated for damage to its body. |
