Real-world AI for robots is hard and expensive to create. Or is it? Researchers at a UK university just showed us how to teach robots like humans ...

Chinese researchers have uncovered a surprising method for teaching humanoids to carry out everyday tasks. The intriguing study took place in a laboratory in Wuhan, China, where a group of ...

In the first days of my son’s life, during the fall of 2023, he spent much of the time when he wasn’t sleeping or eating engaged in what some cognitive scientists call “motor babbling.” His arms and ...

Scientists have created a robot that can learn tasks like cleaning a washbasin just by watching humans. A special sponge with sensors is used to show the robot how to clean. Using an advanced machine ...

Robots have gotten exceptionally good at specialized tasks—vacuuming floors, stacking boxes, welding parts, or navigating controlled warehouses. Yet the dream of general-purpose robotics—machines that ...

Figure's Brett Adcock claimed a "ChatGPT moment" for humanoid robotics on the weekend. Now, we know what he means: the robot can now watch humans doing tasks, build its own understanding of how to do ...

Learning has been a holy grail in robotics for decades. If these systems are going to thrive in unpredictable environments, they’ll need to do more than just respond to programming — they’ll need to ...

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 ...

Robotics and artificial intelligence are evolving at a pace that can feel dizzying—even for people who follow the field closely.

The activity begins with students reading or listening to a social story on friendship. Some students learn how to code with touch within a week and can move on, while others may take longer. A ...

FAIRMONT — East High students brought home an award at this year’s Vex Robotics State Championship at State University. East fielded two teams, the Titanium Swarm and the ...

Kris Weng (MSR '25) used his MSR final project to develop a dextrous robotic hand and arm that learns as it provides assistance. In 1989, video gamers around the world were sold the potential of ...
