Inch By Inch, Machine Leads Soft Robotics To A More Energy Efficient Future
November 14, 2023 ACEE Princeton News: Princeton researchers have developed a flexible, lightweight and energy efficient soft robot that moves without the use of any legs or rotary parts. Instead, the device uses actuators that convert electrical energy into vibrations that allow it to wiggle from point to point using only a single watt. The […]

Chatbots are so gullible, they’ll take directions from hackers
November 2, 2023 Washington Post: ‘Prompt injection’ attacks haven’t caused giant problems yet. But it’s a matter of time, researchers say. Software developers and cybersecurity professionals have created tests and benchmarks for traditional software to show it’s safe enough to use. Right now, the safety standards for LLM-based AI programs don’t measure up, said Zico […]
