With WHIRL, developed at Carnegie Mellon University (CMU), a robot can learn to perform household tasks just watching a person perform them. 

The International Federation of Robotics acts as a focal point for organizations and governmental representatives in activities related to robotics.

We take a look at some of the details in the first set of science images to be released by the JWST science team.

The Algae Phenotyping System is able to automate the long, manual process of identifying the traits present in different strains of algae.

Researchers at the MIT developed a system that can help robots retrieve target items from a pile of items with some RFID tags. 

Myoshirt is a soft exoskeleton that supports the upper body while the user moves their arms.

Researchers at MIT’s CSAIL released an open-source simulation engine that can construct environments to test autonomous vehicles.

Robot sales increased 28% from Q1 of 2021, when North American companies purchased 9,098 units, to 11,595 units sold in 2022.

The research team constructed the robot with a shape-memory alloy material that can transform to a “remembered” shape when heated.

Researchers at Carnegie Mellon University drove an ATV aggressively through an off-road environment near Pittsburgh at 30 miles an hour.

MuJoCo, which stands for Multi-Joint Dynamics with Contact, is a physics engine that aims to facilitate R&D in robotics, biomechanics, graphics and animation.

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.
