As the world becomes increasingly automated, the IoT (Internet of Things) is already transforming our domestic and business lives. Nowhere is this more apparent than in the use of AI and robotics in the manufacturing industry, with all the benefits offered by Industry 4.0.
The frame in which a human marks out the boundaries of an object makes a huge difference in how well AI software can identify that object through the rest of the video.
This comprehensive article dives deep into the world of robotics, exploring the history, types, engineering components, applications, and future trends of robots, offering readers an in-depth understanding of how these remarkable machines work and shape our lives.
The hospitality industry can leverage the gender characteristics of service robots to influence customers' decisions, according to new research from a team in the Penn State School of Hospitality Management.
Service robots have evolved from simple automated machines to intelligent adaptive systems that can navigate unpredictable environments and interact with humans.
Engineers at Princeton and North Carolina State University have combined ancient paper folding and modern materials science to create a soft robot that bends and twists through mazes with ease.
A research team from ETH Zurich and the University of Zurich (UZH) has developed a novel approach to treating spinal cord injuries: controllable microrobots deliver stem cells directly to the site of an injury, where they promote nerve cell regeneration.
Cornell engineers have developed a robotic collective that behaves less like a machine and more like a material that flows, reshapes and adapts to its environment without centralized control.
From hospital wards to crop fields, from microscopic swarms to biohybrid machines powered by fungi, robotics research at Cornell spans an astonishing range of scale, application and ambition.

If you’re unfamiliar with the term, GPS Waypoint Navigation is the ability to provide a robot with a set of GPS waypoints (i.e., a set of latitude / longitude pairs), and have the robot autonomously navigate from its current location to each of the defined waypoints.
We are announcing the release of our state-of-the-art off-policy model-free reinforcement learning algorithm, soft actor-critic (SAC). This algorithm has been developed jointly at UC Berkeley and Google, and we have been using it internally for our robotics experiment.
The world is full of life-threatening jobs. There was a time when humans merely gritted their teeth, accepted the risk and trusted that the training they received would protect them from harm. However, there is a growing trend of using robots to do the tasks that could harm humans.
Vehicles increasingly contain electronic systems that assist drivers with monitoring, warning, braking, and steering tasks. Semiconductor companies are innovating to increase safety, while reducing weight, size, and complexity.
New insights about how euglena navigate their world could lead to advances in the way miniature robots of the future maneuver through the bloodstream or other watery environments.
Daniel Lofaro talks about how he works hard to make things easier and how co-robotics are the way forward, and how bringing cost down cost and better AI is critical for this.
Like its predecessor, JackRabbot 2 is learning how to navigate safely through spaces occupied by people, following the rules of human etiquette. What it learns could help it move comfortably among us in the future.
Meet Tribot, the three-legged origami robot designed and built by EPFL scientists. Tri- for three legs and -bot for robot, this super-light critter fits in the palm of your hand, is cheap to build, runs on less than one watt of power, and may one day be deployed in mass for search and rescue mission
