Researchers are developing the next generation of advanced materials for use in sport and military applications, with the goal of preventing brain injuries. 

Two technologies which use deep learning techniques to help machines to see and recognise their location and surroundings could be used for the development of driverless cars and autonomous robotics – and can be used on a regular camera or smartphone. 

̽»¨Ö±²¥anticipation is over: ̽»¨Ö±²¥Force Awakens is with us. To a self-confessed geek like Karen Yu from the Institute for Manufacturing, this is like all of her Christmases coming at once. It also raises some very important questions: what is the Force, how do you make a lightsaber – and does the new film finally put to rest the ghost of ̽»¨Ö±²¥Phantom Menace?

Fumiya Iida (Department of Engineering) discusses the "mother" robot he has built with his colleagues, and why reacting to developments in robotics with undue fear could stifle research and creativity.

Members of a Cambridge ̽»¨Ö±²¥ access group dedicated to raising aspirations in Cambridgeshire and Peterborough state schools have arranged over 51,000 interactions with local students, a new report reveals.

̽»¨Ö±²¥ ̽»¨Ö±²¥ of Cambridge is launching a new research centre, thanks to a £10 million grant from the Leverhulme Trust, to explore the opportunities and challenges to humanity from the development of artificial intelligence. 

Two new funding initiatives at the ̽»¨Ö±²¥ of Cambridge will support the UK’s infrastructure and cities.
