NTU Singapore scientists develop ‘mini-brains’ to help robots recognise pain and to self-repair

Singapore, 15 October 2020 Using a brain-inspired approach, scientists from Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) have developed a way for robots to have the artificial intelligence (AI) to recognise pain and to self-repair when damaged. The system has AI-enabled sensor nodes to process and respond to ‘pain’ arising from pressure exerted by a physical …

NTU Singapore scientists devise ‘Trojan horse’ approach to kill cancer cells without using drugs

Cancer cells are killed in lab experiments and tumour growth reduced in mice, using a new approach that turns a nanoparticle into a ‘Trojan horse’ that causes cancer cells to self-destruct, a research team at the Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) has found. The researchers created their ‘Trojan horse’ nanoparticle by coating it with …
