Can a Robot Be Your Friend? The Rise of Personality in AI

December 9, 2025 by BBG News

A pre-study dialogue revealed that a chatbot exhibiting uncooperative behavior - appearing disinterested and unwilling to engage - demonstrated a clear lack of alignment with collaborative task completion.

New research explores how giving robots distinct personalities, powered by large language models, impacts how humans interact with and perceive these machines.

AI Agents Now Beat Experts at Fine-Tuning Scientific Imaging

December 9, 2025 by BBG News

The study contrasts segmentation results achieved through human-designed functions with those generated by an autonomous agent, demonstrating that while both approaches yield segmentations from a given image and prompt, the agent-generated preprocessing and postprocessing code differs significantly from expert implementations, suggesting alternative, though functionally equivalent, pathways to achieving the desired outcome.

A new study reveals that simple AI agents can reliably optimize biomedical imaging workflows, often surpassing the performance of human experts.

Reading the Room: Robots and the Quest for Social Awareness

December 9, 2025 by BBG News

A two-stage pipeline first identifies socially relevant cues-such as brief gaze shifts or proxemic entries-to pinpoint potential signals directed toward a robot, subsequently triggering a video-based visual language model to reason about the observed scene and generate an evidence-grounded behavior log to inform action selection.

New research explores how advanced vision-language models can help robots interpret subtle social cues, paving the way for more natural and effective human-robot interactions.

Slithering to Success: A Groove-Guided Soft Robot

December 9, 2025 by BBG News

An inchworm-inspired soft robot utilizes a multilayer rolled dielectric elastomer actuator to cycle between contracted states of $25$mm length and extended states of $27$mm, driving forward locomotion, while strategically patterned grooves-oriented at angles up to $30^{\circ}$-passively steer the robot by biasing frictional engagement and aligning its direction of motion.

Researchers have developed a remarkably simple soft robot inspired by inchworm locomotion that navigates complex terrains using passive control and grooved surfaces.

Building Biology’s Blueprints: An AI for Systems Pharmacology

December 9, 2025 by BBG News

The system fosters a collaborative ecosystem where agents iteratively decipher and reconstruct quantitative systems pharmacology (QSP) code into equivalent MATLAB implementations-a process validated through continuous feedback-and subsequently refine these models based on natural language directives, autonomously debugging and versioning outputs to ensure traceable, evolving functionality.

Researchers have developed a new artificial intelligence system that automates the creation of complex models of biological systems, accelerating drug discovery and personalized medicine.
