Robotic fingers with a new artificial skin that allows the hand to grasp fragile pencil lead and pull away from a needle before it punctures the covering

Both actions depend on more than sensitive sensors. The robot must also receive and interpret their signals quickly enough to respond

To read many sensing points together, the researchers assigned them different signal frequencies within each sensor bundle. Similar to the way individual notes can be picked out of a chord, these signals can be separated even when they arrive together ▶️

Shaping world simulation in real-time

With Genie 4, use natural language to modify a simulation in real-time like changing the weather, moving the camera, or introducing a new person or object and Gemini will contextually adapt your prompt to match the surrounding scene

Between inputs, Gemini also monitors and steers the scene to keep the world progressing cohesively ▶️

An implantable drug-delivery device that could help prevent recurrence of glioblastoma

The device contains a reservoir that can release drugs over an extended period, along with ultrasound transducers that use sound waves to help drugs spread farther through the 🧠 and bypass the blood-brain barrier

Such a device could be implanted in the brain during surgery, then gradually release drugs that would help kill the remaining tumor cells. After implantation, a wireless controller can be used to program the exact ultrasound dosages to be delivered, enhancing the reach of the delivered therapy ▶️
