The US Justice Department accuses Duke University's law school of unlawfully using race in admissions, citing proxies like essays and first-generation status, despite a 2023 Supreme Court ban on such practices.
Duke University engineers have developed Argus, an omnidirectional robot with 20 modular legs arranged in a dodecahedron. It achieves dynamic isotropy, scoring 0.91, allowing it to move equally in all directions without reorientation, demonstrating resilience and challenging traditional biological design templates in robotics.
Duke University engineers develop 'Argus', a robot with 20 telescoping legs and depth-sensing cameras, enabling dynamic symmetry for omnidirectional movement and stability, scoring 0.91 in dynamic isotropy, outperforming most current robots.
