MIT’s research team hopes that its findings could help autonomous robots explore remote exoplanets with unknown conditions. 

The robot, a customized BlueROV2 robot, operates at a depth of 1 meter and uses sonar signals to detect objects around it.

Lead author on the study, Elliot W. Hawkes, said that the team sought to create a jumper that could reach the limits of engineered jumps.

Soft, pneumatic actuators can provide high response rates and power to input ratios, but creating them can be tedious.

Typically, when AI is presented with a scene of cluttered objects, the system will try to identify each item based only on its visible parts.

A research team at the robotics department at Google has been developing a new way for robots to learn by watching.

The Robotics Summit & Expo offers complimentary and discounted registration for colleges, universities and research centers.

CSAIL’s Perceptual Science Group created touch sensors for their gripper, allowing it to feel with the same sensitivity as human skin. 

A new technique could enable a robot to manipulate squishy objects like pizza dough or soft materials like clothing.

Researchers devised a high-frequency, low-power, compact optical device that allows virtually any digital camera to perceive depth.

The researchers are hoping to create robots made from many individual units that act individually but cooperatively. 

The Programmable Worm for Irregular Pipeline Exploration, or “Pipe-worm”, is GE’s latest adaptation of its autonomous giant earthworm robot.

NASA’s OSAM-1 mission aims to be the first ever to refuel a satellite not designed to be serviced using SPIDER.
