San Diego Researchers to Study and Improve New AI Learning Tool

A team of researchers across San Diego County received a $1.5 million grant from the State of California to offer a better alternative to off-the-shelf chatbots. The team will deploy, assess and improve an innovative AI tutor system that originated at the University of California San Diego.

This Bespoke AI Tutor Helps Students Learn

A team of researchers at the University of California San Diego developed an AI tutor designed to give students an alternative to off-the-shelf AI tools, so that students not only get help but actually learn course-relevant information at the same time.

Women’s Physical Activity Levels are Less Variable Than Men’s, Study Says

Women’s physical activity levels are less variable than men’s, according to a new study published in the Journal of Medical Internet Research. What’s more, women’s hormonal cycles did not have a noticeable impact on physical activity levels.

This Injected Protein-like Polymer Helps Tissues Heal After a Heart Attack

Researchers have developed a new therapy that can be injected intravenously right after a heart attack to promote healing and prevent heart failure. The therapy both prompts the immune system to encourage tissue repair and promotes survival of heart muscle cells after a heart attack.

A New Robotic Gripper Based on Measuring Tape is Sizing Up Fruit and Veggie Picking

Robotic grippers made from measuring tape would be a particularly good fit for agriculture applications, as their extremities are soft enough to grab fragile fruits and vegetables. The devices are also low-cost and safe around humans.

Three UC San Diego Scientists Elected AAAS Fellows

These Electronics-free Robots Can Walk Right Off the 3D-Printer

This robot can walk, without electronics, and only with the addition of a cartridge of compressed gas, right off the 3D-printer. It can also be printed in one go, from one material. Researchers from the University of California San Diego and BASF, describe how they developed the robot in an advance

Exploring the Impact of Generative AI on Education, Research and More

Better simulations to understand how viruses work. Better ways to model and predict climate change. Better robots that can navigate the real world. Researchers from all across UC San Diego and around the world converged on campus last week to explore the promise of generative AI.
