Robot learning and language acquisition represent an interdisciplinary endeavour combining robotics, artificial intelligence and cognitive science. This field studies how autonomous systems can ...

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 ...

University of Minnesota Twin Cities researchers have constructed a robot that uses machine learning to fully automate a complicated microinjection process used in genetic research. In their ...

Of all the holy grails in robotics, learning may well be the holiest. In an era when the term “general purpose” is tossed around with great abandon, however, it can be difficult for non-roboticists to ...

The open-source Newton Physics Engine — codeveloped with Google DeepMind and Disney Research, and now available in NVIDIA Isaac Lab — helps researchers and developers create more capable and adaptable ...

From the depths of the ocean to the craters of the moon, Carnegie Mellon University has spent more than 40 years designing robots for the most extreme environments. On Feb. 27, the university will ...

A robotics company likely most famous for a demo of its dexterous robot hand at Amazon re:MARS with Jeff Bezos has now unveiled a new robust model designed for machine learning research, which was ...

The Toyota Research Institute has been doing some incredible work teaching robots to rapidly learn and perform tasks autonomously – now, it's bringing its Large Behavior Model tech to the ...

Robots, often showcased as paragons of precision and seamless collaboration with humans, present an idealized portrayal of human-robot interactions. However, the reality diverges significantly, as ...

CCI Professor Rosina Weber and her co-authors argue explainable AI (XAI) has serious problems and offer recommendations for improved research quality in the most recent issue of AI Magazine.

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 ...

Traditional safety protocols weren’t designed for self-improving systems, which raises important questions about validation, oversight and accountability.
