A new safety-check technique can prove with 100 percent accuracy that a planned robot motion will not result in a collision. The method can generate a proof in seconds and does so in a way that can be ...

Researchers from University of California, Berkeley have developed a new robot learning technique that helps them master skills like 'Jenga whipping' or building furniture rapidly and accurately.

A new technique enables an AI agent to be guided by data crowdsourced asynchronously from nonexpert human users as it learns to complete a task through reinforcement learning. The method trains the ...

In the medicine of the future, tiny robots will navigate independently through tissue and medical instruments will indicate their position inside the body during surgery. Both require doctors to be ...

Researchers have developed intention-based learning methods that allow robots with different physical designs to share skills by focusing on high-level goals rather than specific movements. The ...

Learning may well be the most exciting frontier in the whole of robotics. The field itself dates back decades. The 80s, for instance, brought exciting breakthroughs in learning by demonstration, but a ...

Physical AI has become one of the field’s biggest ambitions. These are machines that do more than generate text or images, ...

2024 is going to be a huge year for the cross-section of generative AI/large foundational models and robotics. There’s a lot of excitement swirling around the potential for various applications, ...

CAMBRIDGE, MA – A human clearing junk out of an attic can often guess the contents of a box simply by picking it up and giving it a shake, without the need to see what’s inside. Researchers from MIT, ...
