Despite rapid robotic automation advancements, most systems struggle to adapt their pre-trained movements to dynamic ...

To help humans to complete everyday manual tasks, robots should be able to reliably manipulate everyday objects that vary in shape, texture and size. Many conventional approaches to enable robotic ...

Researchers develop an adaptive motion system that allows robots to generate human-like movements with minimal data ...

Robots at CES 2026 are smarter, more helpful and more fun. Here are our favorites so far.

MIT researchers are using generative AI models to help robots more efficiently solve complex object manipulation problems, such as packing a box with different objects. CAMBRIDGE, Mass. -- Anyone who ...

While large language models (LLMs) have mastered text (and other modalities to some extent), they lack the physical "common sense" to operate in dynamic, real-world environments. This has limited the ...

Imagine a coffee cup sitting on a table. Now, imagine a book partially obscuring the cup. As humans, we still know what the coffee cup is even though we can't see all of it. But a robot might be ...

With their bright blue bases, yellow gears, and exposed circuit tops, the 3D-printed robots look like a child’s toys. Yet as a roughly two-dozen-member collective, they can flow around obstacles ...
