Robots are increasingly learning new skills by watching people. From folding laundry to handling food, many real-world, ...

Roboticists have struggled to get humanoid robots to effectively replicate athletic sports skills, such as those needed for tennis. These sports require highly dynamic motion, quick reactions, and ...

Humans often use one hand to grasp the branch for better accessibility, while the other hand is used to perform primary tasks like (a) branch pruning and (b) hand pollination of the flower. (c) An ...

Abstract: Robot manipulation enables robots to perform 3D tasks—including cup grasping, drawer opening, and shape sorting—that are critical for industrial automation and autonomous robotic systems.

Researchers have commanded swarms of magnetic microrobots to manipulate, rotate, and assemble objects without ever making physical contact. The development is led by researchers from the Max Planck ...

Abstract: Model predictive control (MPC) with reduced-order template models has proven effective for dynamic legged locomotion, but loco-manipulation introduces additional complexity requiring ...

A former Citi executive predicted that there will be more AI robots than human workers in just a few decades. "You can already buy a humanoid today, which gives you a payback period versus human ...

Agility Robotics and Toyota Motor Manufacturing Canada have signed agreements to deploy the Digit humanoid robot in a commercial production setting, moving the technology from a one-year pilot to ...

A Chinese robotics company recently did something most tech firms would never dare attempt. Agibot put more than 200 robots on stage for a live one-hour televised event called Agibot Night. The gala ...

China's humanoid robots impressed at the Spring Festival Gala earlier this week, shifting public sentiment. The robot's abilities displayed at the event were far more advanced than those shown just ...
