Alphabet Inc.’s artificial intelligence lab is debuting two new models focused on robotics, which will help developers train robots to respond to unfamiliar scenarios — a longstanding challenge in the ...

Robotics is entering a new phase where general-purpose learning matters as much as mechanical design. Instead of programming every behavior by hand, modern robots are increasingly expected to learn ...

Robots are getting better at sensing their surroundings, but moving safely through unfamiliar spaces remains a bottleneck. Most autonomous systems still depend on building detailed maps, fusing ...

In sci-fi tales, artificial intelligence often powers all sorts of clever, capable, and occasionally homicidal robots. A revealing limitation of today’s best AI is that, for now, it remains squarely ...

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent six days a week. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. Tech giant Google and its subsidiary AI research lab, DeepMind ...

Microsoft has unveiled Rho-alpha, a next-generation robotics AI model designed to help machines understand the physical world, make decisions in real time, and execute complex tasks with greater ...

Inside a UNC-Chapel Hill Science lab sits an autonomous robot. Imagine a machine like a Roomba, but with an arm, so it can pick up things like a dirty sock off the floor. A group of researchers from ...

As robotics has advanced, industry has steadily adopted more robots to automate many kinds of grunt work. More than 540,000 new industrial robots were installed worldwide in 2023, taking the number of ...

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.
