Scientists achieve major robotics milestone as robot learns 1,000 different physical tasks in single day, potentially transforming manufacturing, healthcare and home robotics.
An AI-enabled robot can carry on such processes by autonomously handling delivery, restocking and routing within set predefined limits. With the ability to change routes, avoid busy environments and respond to staff requests, these adaptive robots minimize disruptions for clinical teams, enhancing workflow efficiency.
The savvy marketers at Boston Dynamics produced two major robotics news cycles last week. The larger of the two was, naturally, the electric Atlas announcement. As I write this, the sub-40 second video is steadily approaching five million views. A day ...
Unity Technologies has linked its game engine to machine learning software, in order to train better virtual characters and physical robots. For years, video game developers have used artificial intelligence to animate those characters encountered by a ...
Although you might mistake it for a toy, this robot is actually a lot smarter than it seems. So smart, in fact, that it can learn how to move faster, in a specific direction, without having prior knowledge. Some robots look complex or even threatening, but ...
From disaster zones to underground tunnels, robots are increasingly being sent where humans cannot safely go. But many of these environments lack natural or artificial light, making it difficult for robotic systems,
Engineers at the University of California, San Diego have trained a humanoid robot to effortlessly learn and perform a variety of expressive movements, including simple dance routines and gestures like waving, high-fiving and hugging, all while maintaining ...
When it comes to expressing emotions, human faces have a lot to say. Without speaking a word, we can signal our disgust to those around us with pursed lips and a furrowed brow. Our joy is expressed just as fast: Eyes open wide and lips upturned. Like an ...
Workplace etiquette is not something normally associated with robots, but a new MIT project aims to teach robots social etiquette to more effectively work alongside humans. In the current COVID-19 landscape where it's not safe for human workers to interact ...
