Intrinsic motivation, a concept drawn from behavioural science, has gained significant traction in robotic research as a means to stimulate exploratory behaviour in the absence of explicit external ...

A new meta-learning framework inspired by how babies explore the world could help robots adapt faster, handle objects safely, and interact more naturally with humans.

Thermal sensors and synthetic data can help train robots for a wider range of scenarios than traditional sensors alone, says Bifrost AI.

Over the past decades, roboticists have introduced a wide range of advanced systems that can move around in their ...

Inside the robotics laboratory of the Toyota Research Institute (TRI) in Cambridge, Massachusetts, a group of robots are busy cooking. There is nothing special about that; robotic chefs have been ...

Robots are super interesting, but you probably shouldn’t start learning about them with a full-sized industrial SCARA arm or anything. Better to learn with something smaller and simpler to understand.

Reinforcement learning (RL) is transforming the way robots interact with the world. Unlike traditional programming or supervised learning, which depend on pre-defined ...

In the first days of my son’s life, during the fall of 2023, he spent much of the time when he wasn’t sleeping or eating engaged in what some cognitive scientists call “motor babbling.” His arms and ...

Discover the latest breakthroughs in robotic tactile sensing and how they are transforming the capabilities of humanoid robots. This video explores the advanced technology behind Sanctuary AI's ...

Thanks to researchers at TU Wein in Vienna, the promise of housecleaning robots is one step closer. The team has developed a self-learning robot to mimic humans to complete simple tasks like cleaning ...
