Most robot headlines follow a familiar script: a machine masters one narrow trick in a controlled lab, then comes the bold promise that everything is about to change. I usually tune those stories out.

A robot observes its reflection in a mirror, learning its own morphology and kinematics for autonomous self-simulation. The process highlights the intersection of vision-based learning and robotics, ...

Overview:Covers top robotics books, ranging from beginner electronics to advanced AI and autonomous systems, helping learners ...

For years, robots have relied on pre-programmed instructions and complex simulations to function. But now, scientists have developed self-aware robots that can learn and adapt in real time, just like ...

Robots can watch humans, but can they understand touch? A glove captures both movement and contact during tasks. ART-Glove in ...

The vision of robots as true partners in our daily work has remained just that—a vision. While we’ve seen an explosion of humanoid and semi-humanoid designs recently, these new platforms face a ...

Researchers have developed a robot that can learn facial lip movements for tasks such as speech and singing. Designed by a team at Columbia Engineering, the humanoid aims to address one of the most ...

Engineers at the University of California, San Diego have trained a humanoid robot to effortlessly learn and perform a variety of expressive movements, including simple dance routines and gestures ...

In contrast to the diverse landing solutions that the animals have in nature, human-made aircraft struggle when it comes to perching on vertical walls. However, traditional dynamic simulations and ...

The latest boom in robotics represents a revolution in the way machines have learned to interact with the world. Roboticists used to dream big but build small. They’d hope to match or exceed the ...

We present a data-driven deep reinforcement learning (DRL) method for the optimization of a hierarchically structured control policy that includes the central pattern generator. This method, which is ...
