Market Madness, Manufacturing, and the Liberation Day of It All
Donald Trump’s tariff announcements are roiling the markets. On this week’s special episode of Uncanny Valley, we break it all down.
Hopping gives this tiny robot a leg up
A hopping, insect-sized robot can jump over gaps or obstacles, traverse rough, slippery, or slanted surfaces, and perform aerial acrobatic maneuvers, while using a fraction of the energy required for flying microbots.

Repurposing Protein Folding Models for Generation with Latent Diffusion
PLAID is a multimodal generative model that simultaneously generates protein 1D sequence and 3D structure, by learning the latent space of protein folding models. The awarding of the 2024 Nobel Prize to AlphaFold2 marks an important moment of recognition for the of AI role in biology. What comes next after protein folding? In PLAID, we …

Do LLMs Estimate Uncertainty Well in Instruction-Following?
Large language models (LLMs) could be valuable personal AI agents across various domains, provided they can precisely follow user instructions. However, recent studies have shown significant limitations in LLMs’ instruction-following capabilities, raising concerns about their reliability in high-stakes applications. Accurately estimating LLMs’ uncertainty in adhering to instructions is critical to mitigating deployment risks. We present, …

Tiny, soft robot flexes its potential as a life saver
A tiny, soft, flexible robot that can crawl through earthquake rubble to find trapped victims or travel inside the human body to deliver medicine may seem like science fiction, but an international team is pioneering such adaptable robots by integrating flexible electronics with magnetically controlled motion.
Probabilistic algorithm targets social media’s fake news problem
Fake news across social media is becoming ever easier to spread and more difficult to detect. That’s thanks to increasingly powerful artificial intelligence (AI) and cuts to fact-checking resources by major platforms.
