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

A robot observes its reflection in a mirror, learning its own morphology and kinematics for autonomous self-simulation. The process highlights the intersection of vision-based learning and robotics, ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Being a baby is harder than it looks. Born into the world knowing almost nothing, they spend their first few years getting a PhD in navigating a physical environment. Likewise, ...

Inside the robotics laboratory of the Toyota Research Institute (TRI) in Cambridge, Massachusetts, a group of robots are busy cooking. There is nothing special about that; robotic chefs have been ...

Once upon a time, machine learning was an arcane field, the preserve of a precious few researchers holed up in grand academic institutions. Progress was slow, and hard won. Today, however, just about ...

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 ...

A select group of 20 fifth graders participated in Marie Curie Institute’s Robotics Club this winter. The club met over a 10 week period to learn about robots, to build a robot, and to program their ...

What if your childhood Tamagotchi could step off the screen and into the real world? Imagine a tiny robot, complete with blinking eyes and lifelike movements, responding to your voice and following ...

The race to build the world’s first functional humanoid robots is no longer just a contest of hardware. It’s a high-stakes battle over two radically different philosophies of development, the crux of ...

Johns Hopkins University researchers have created a system that could make social robots more effective at detecting and managing user interruptions in real time based on a human speaker's intent—a ...
