For a Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship project, Carnegie Mellon University sophomore Jasmine Li worked with robotic arms in the Robotic Caregiving and Human Interaction Lab to analyze the ...

Nick Morales used his final project in the MSR program to investigate a form of robotics that enables machines to predict human intent to move and position large, heavy objects. Anyone who has ever ...

On Saturday, I drove down to the event center at San Jose State University and watched a bunch of squat, wheeled robots compete in a strange game which involved both hurling Frisbee-style discs into ...

Researchers are using generative AI and other techniques to teach robots new skills—including tasks they could perform in homes. Silent. Rigid. Clumsy. Henry and Jane Evans are used to awkward ...

William Xie, a first-year PhD student in computer science, is teaching a robot to reason how gently it should grasp previously unknown objects by using large language models (LLMs). DeliGrasp, Xie's ...

Just like bees, the individual robots in this simulation have no master plan. Simply by responding to local cues, they are able to construct honeycomb-like structures. The method could presage a new ...

The bell rang, and students started streaming into the classroom in twos and threes. Chatter filled the room as one booming voice shouted directions. Around 60 students gathered for teacher Ian ...

MenteeBot autonomously fetches a Coke, showing how robots can learn tasks through demonstration and verbal instructions.

Newly developed mathematical rules allow virtual swarms of tiny robots to build without blueprints. In computer simulations, the robots built honeycomb-like structures without ever following - or even ...

Local governments are building training centers to address a shortage of robotic data, as China makes embodied intelligence a ...

USC, UPenn, Texas A&M, Oregon State, Georgia Tech, Temple University, and NASA Johnson Space Center are teaching dog-like robots to navigate craters of the moon and other challenging planetary ...
