For more than a decade, the French robotics company Aldebaran has built some of the most popular robots used in academic research. Go to most university robotics departments and you'll find either ...

The field of robotics is undergoing a profound transformation driven by rapid advances in artificial intelligence, particularly large language models and ...

Researchers at EPFL and Idiap Research Institute have developed a geometry-aware system that allows robots to manipulate irregularly shaped objects such as bananas, cups, and peelers. Using stereo ...

New robotics research enables machines to manipulate irregular objects such as fruits and tools by mapping their surface ...

Humans no longer have exclusive control over training social robots to interact effectively, thanks to a new study. The study introduces a new simulation method that lets researchers test their social ...

Swiss scientists have published research showing AI-informed robots can learn how to self correct and teach other robots how to behave. It raises questions of consciousness in artificial intelligence.

Agile Robots is showcasing robots for industry at the Hannover Messe. Agile One is designed to work autonomously and adapt to ...

From left, engineering professor Morteza Lahijanian and graduate student Karan Muvvala watch as a robotic arm completes a task using wooden blocks. Imagine for a moment that you’re in an auto factory.

This a robot can walk, without electronics, and only with the addition of a cartridge of compressed gas, right off the 3D-printer. It can also be printed in one go, from one material. Imagine a robot ...

Earlier this year, a robot completed a half-marathon in Beijing in just under 2 hours and 40 minutes. That’s slower than the human winner, who clocked in at just over an hour—but it’s still a ...
