Robotic learning and human–robot interaction (HRI) encompass methods by which machines acquire new skills and collaborate effectively with people. Central to this endeavour are adaptive algorithms ...

Fig. 1(a) illustrates a typical robotic manipulation system. It features a robotic arm equipped with sensors like cameras and end-effectors such as grippers, enabling it to manipulate a wide range of ...

KAIST researchers developed a four-legged robot that can independently choose whether to walk, run, or jump as terrain ...

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 idea of a robot that does a wide range of household chores, from unloading the dryer to folding laundry to cleaning up a messy table, has long seemed like pure science fiction—perhaps most ...

Atlas, the humanoid robot famous for its parkour and dance routines, has recently begun demonstrating something altogether more subtle but also a lot more significant: It has learned to both walk and ...

Reinforcement learning (RL) for robotics is often associated with large GPU clusters, distributed infrastructure, and x86-based development environments. Training a humanoid robot with high-fidelity ...

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.

Cutting edge technology may come with downsides. For an abdominal wall hernia repair, also known as a ventral hernia repair, the most common surgical approaches have been laparoscopic and open ...

The newest worker at BMW's Spartanburg plant. A new humanoid robot manufactured by California robotics firm, Figure, has assumed a role in the vehicle assembly process at a BMW plant in South Carolina ...
