Abstract: We provide a method for detecting and localizing objects near a robot arm using arm-mounted miniature time-of-flight sensors. A key challenge when using arm-mounted sensors is ...

After testing 24 robot vacuums at CNET Labs to see how well they clean and avoid obstacles, we discovered an unusual relationship. Ajay has worked in tech journalism for over a decade as a reporter, ...

Forget Thing T. Thing from The Addams Family (yes, that's the full name); modern science has officially brought us a detachable robot hand that can actually skitter across the floor, grab you a beer, ...

HONG KONG, Jan 21 (Reuters) - Chinese robotics firm UBTech (9880.HK), opens new tab said on Wednesday it had signed a deal with the world's largest planemaker, Airbus (AIR.PA), opens new tab, to ...

Like something out of the Addams Family, scientists have created a detachable robotic hand that can crawl and grab objects. The design enables tasks such as retrieving objects beyond normal reach and ...

The "Dataset" folder contains the cube and cylinder data divided per class for 40 and 80 samples extracted from the grasp peaks. For each kind of objects we collected five classes, i.e. five hardness ...

Researchers in Japan have developed an adaptive motion reproduction system that allows robots to generate human-like movements using surprisingly small amounts of training data. Despite rapid advances ...

Object avoidance is a tough nut to crack on robot vacuums, but Narwal's new Flow 2 promises it has the best yet with a mix of on-board processing and AI cloud computing. Ajay has worked in tech ...

In 2021, 60 Minutes visited the offices of robotics company Boston Dynamics and met an early model of its humanoid robot, Atlas. It could run, jump and maintain its balance when pushed. But it was ...

Physically, sound is just pressure moving through a medium. If you harness that pressure correctly, you can actually push things around using nothing but sound. That's exactly what researchers at ...

Engineers at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and Stanford University have created a robotic gripper capable of snaking around and lifting a variety of objects, such as a glass vase and a ...
