This spinning-mass principle drives several robots in development. One is a remote-controlled wheel that jumps when the internal mass rotates fast enough to lift it off the ground. Unlike spring-based ...
Over the next decades, robots are expected to make their way into a growing number of households, public spaces, and ...
A robot observes its reflection in a mirror, learning its own morphology and kinematics for autonomous self-simulation. The process highlights the intersection of vision-based learning and robotics, ...
The Columbia University researchers achieved the feat by allowing their robot, EMO, to study itself in a mirror. It learned ...
Robots that move, sense and even coordinate with one another usually bring to mind tangled wires, circuit boards and humming motors. In a new study from the University of Oxford, all of that ...
Robots are becoming smarter and more common, but their ability to handle objects with human-like precision remains limited.
The symmetrical design and flexible fingers mean that the robot can transport objects on either side of its body. For humans, ...
Robots often fail outside factories when things move or change. Technology helps them see, feel, and learn, so they can work ...
