Engineers and computer scientists are developing AI-powered robots that look and act human. Boston Dynamics invited 60 ...

Engineering researchers are successfully using a robot to help keep children with learning disabilities focused on their work. Engineering researchers at the University of Waterloo are successfully ...

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 ...

Intrinsic motivation, a concept drawn from behavioural science, has gained significant traction in robotic research as a means to stimulate exploratory behaviour in the absence of explicit external ...

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 robot, trained for the first time by watching videos of seasoned surgeons, executed the same surgical procedures as skillfully as the human doctors. The successful use of imitation learning to train ...

AI, Machine Learning & Robotics research at Drexel University's College of Computing & Informatics (CCI) explores algorithms, mathematics, and applications of artificial intelligence (AI) through ...

Standing amid hundreds of people in the rotunda of Chicago's iconic Museum of Science and Industry, Ritika Ghosh (MSR '23) felt her confidence building. Ghosh was teaching people of all ages about a ...

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 ...

Step inside the Soft Robotics Lab at ETH Zurich, and you find yourself in a space that is part children’s nursery, part high-tech workshop and part cabinet of curiosities. The lab benches are strewn ...

Active learning takes advantage of control authority to improve data as it is being acquired. Robotics applications are particularly sensitive to how data is taken. For instance, machine vision is ...
