Engineers at the University of Nebraska have created a robotic muscle that can detect damage, heal itself, and reset to sense future harm; just like human skin. Using smart layers and liquid metal, it repairs punctures through heat and resets using a special technique called electromigration. This breakthrough could change soft robotics, wearables, and reduce e-waste. The project was also named a finalist at the prestigious ICRA 2025 conference.

Engineers at Florida Atlantic University created an AI-powered system that translates American Sign Language into text in real time using just a webcam. Combining YOLOv11 and MediaPipe, it achieves 98.2% accuracy, even in varied conditions. This low-cost, scalable solution helps bridge communication gaps for the deaf community, making digital interactions faster, easier, and more inclusive.
