In the digital world, sight and sound had a bit of a head start, but our other senses have few practical applications. But that's not the case with robots, and MIT just leveraged an incredible new ...
It has been said that robotics is the most challenging area of machine learning: even simple things, such as moving a robotic arm a small distance, are an incredibly complex engineering challenge. You ...
A team at MIT’s CSAIL demonstrated a new kind of “skin” designed to bring a sense of touch and place to soft robotic arms. The findings, which debuted in the IEEE Robotics and Automation Letters this ...
Lately, we've seen some exciting advances in the development of robots that can interact with objects in interesting ways, ranging from grippers that work like elephant trunks to coil around odd items ...
New research from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology could help robots get a literal grip. Two research groups from the Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Lab (CSAIL) today shared ...
There are a lot of things robots are good at. Automating manufacturing processes and helping humans accomplish repetitive tasks are just two examples. There are some jobs, though, robots struggle to ...
MIT's Daniela Rus isn’t worried that robots will take over the world. Instead, she envisions robots and humans teaming up to achieve things that neither could do alone. In this excerpt from the new ...
Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. For this project, the engineers say their goal was to help streamline the interactions between robots and people. Specifically “to ...
