This paper is about how robots (in particular, household robots like mobile manipulators) can autonomously acquire skills via ...

A new machine-learning technique can efficiently learn to control a robot, leading to better performance with fewer data. Researchers from MIT and Stanford University have devised a new ...

In a study published in Robot Learning journal, researchers propose a new learning-based path planning framework that allows mobile robots to navigate ...

A robot, trained for the first time by watching videos of seasoned surgeons, executed the same surgical procedures as skillfully as the human doctors. The successful use of imitation learning to train ...

A new methodology is helping robots to move its arms autonomously. Researchers combined a ...

It takes years of intense study and a steady hand for humans to perform surgery, but robots might have an easier time picking it up with today's AI technology. Researchers at Johns Hopkins University ...

[A version of this piece first appeared in TechCrunch’s robotics newsletter, Actuator. Subscribe here.] Earlier this month, Google’s DeepMind team debuted Open X-Embodiment, a database of robotics ...

Robotics is entering a new phase where general-purpose learning matters as much as mechanical design. Instead of programming every behavior by hand, modern robots are increasingly expected to learn ...

Short, stumpy robots learned how to play soccer — and improved their skills dramatically thanks to a new AI training technique that combines several pre-existing methods. When you purchase through ...

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 ...
