Over the past decades, roboticists have introduced a wide range of advanced systems that can move around in their ...

General-purpose robots remain rare not for a lack of hardware but because we still can’t give machines the physical intuition ...

A new meta-learning framework inspired by how babies explore the world could help robots adapt faster, handle objects safely, and interact more naturally with humans.

Sergey Levine is an assistant professor at UC Berkeley whose research is focused on the thing our parents used to make such a fuss over, whenever we made stupid mistakes or should have known to avoid ...

Figure's Brett Adcock claimed a "ChatGPT moment" for humanoid robotics on the weekend. Now, we know what he means: the robot can now watch humans doing tasks, build its own understanding of how to do ...

Despite decades of progress, most robots are still programmed for specific, repetitive tasks. They struggle with the unexpected and can't adapt to new situations without painstaking reprogramming. But ...

Ancient mudras offer a blueprint for smoother robot hand movement and could inspire new approaches to motor training and ...

Thanks to researchers at TU Wein in Vienna, the promise of housecleaning robots is one step closer. The team has developed a self-learning robot to mimic humans to complete simple tasks like cleaning ...

Researchers are using generative AI and other techniques to teach robots new skills—including tasks they could perform in homes. Silent. Rigid. Clumsy. Henry and Jane Evans are used to awkward ...

There’s a fun way to learn robotics. The SunFounder PiDog Kit lets you build and program your own robot dog that can do tricks, learn commands, and do so much more. It sounds expensive, but this ...

An IEEE senior member discusses the results of the organization's global study on the potential impact of AI robotics.

See new human-shaped robots, including MIMA’s skill-glove training for dishes and laundry, so you can gauge real home-ready ...
