Rules-based automation (RBA) and learning are two training mechanisms in robotics. While there are many others, these are two ...

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, ...

Foundational Concepts in Programming Industrial Robots. Before you can get a robot to do anything useful, you need to understand how it works and the math behind its movements. It ...

Robotics is entering a new phase where general-purpose learning matters as much as mechanical design. Instead of programming ...

In context: Teaching robots new skills has traditionally been slow and painstaking, requiring hours of step-by-step demonstrations for even the simplest tasks. If a robot encountered something ...

It takes years of intense study and a steady hand for humans to perform surgery, but robots might have an easier time picking it up with today's AI technology. Researchers at Johns Hopkins University ...

Yann LeCun challenges humanoid robots built on precomputed demos, arguing for explicit world models so teams build adaptable ...

A robot, trained for the first time by watching videos of seasoned surgeons, executed the same surgical procedures as skillfully as the human doctors. The successful use of imitation learning to train ...

Robots are increasingly deployed in environments that are unsafe or inaccessible for humans, from collapsed buildings and underground tunnels to industrial sites and disaster zones. In many of these ...
