Iman Soltani is developing active vision technology that would allow robots to change their line of sight and viewpoint to complete tasks instead of relying on multiple cameras. Here, Soltani (left) ...

Today's robots are stuck—their bodies are usually closed systems that can neither grow nor self-repair, nor adapt to their environment. Now, scientists at Columbia University have developed robots ...

From disaster zones to underground tunnels, robots are increasingly being sent where humans cannot safely go. But many of ...

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 ...

The rise of the humanoid robotic machines is nearing. Robotics is now revolutionizing numerous industry sectors through the integration of artificial intelligence, machine learning and reinforcement ...

The robot is hard to see without a microscope. It’s small enough to rest on the ridge of a fingerprint and can operate in ...

In an office at MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL), a soft robotic hand carefully curls its fingers to grasp a small object. The intriguing part isn't the mechanical ...

Humanoid robots remain far-fetched — but certain demos are starting to suggest a plausible future in which they could actually become common fixtures in regular households. In an impressive new demo, ...

For decades we’ve been trying to make the robots smarter and more physically capable by mimicking biological intelligence and movement. “But in doing so, we’ve been just replicating the results of ...

It’s one small step for man — and one giant, badass layup for robot kind. Researchers at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) have programmed a Unitree G1 humanoid robot to play ...

In the rapid development of modern agriculture, picking robots, as a key technology to improve production efficiency, reduce labor costs, and improve operation quality are gradually becoming the focus ...
