While the capabilities of robots have improved significantly over the past decades, they are not always able to reliably and ...

Robots are super interesting, but you probably shouldn’t start learning about them with a full-sized industrial SCARA arm or anything. Better to learn with something smaller and simpler to understand.

(a) A robot whose kinematic and morphology model is unknown. (b) Taking photos of the robot under different joint configurations from different view directions. (c) Representing each part of the robot ...

Gen AI models aren’t just good for creating pictures—they can be fine-tuned to generate useful robot training data, too. Generative AI models can produce images in response to prompts within seconds, ...

Researchers who created a soft robot that could navigate simple mazes without human or computer direction have now built on that work, creating a “brainless” soft robot that can navigate more complex ...

When it comes to locomotion, robots don’t typically do more than one thing at a time. Walkers stick to walking, and rollers stick to rolling. However, this simple method of enabling a cheetah-style ...

Inside a UNC-Chapel Hill Science lab sits an autonomous robot. Imagine a machine like a Roomba, but with an arm, so it can pick up things like a dirty sock off the floor. A group of researchers from ...

The Dobb-E domestic robotics system was trained in real people’s homes and could help solve the field’s data problem. A new system that teaches robots a domestic task in around 20 minutes could help ...

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. Robots in 2024 are far more complex than their single-armed factory ...

In an age where technology seems to evolve by the minute, one might assume that robots are seamlessly executing both complex and mundane tasks. Yet, despite leaps in artificial intelligence (AI) and ...
