The robots run on a hydraulic system powered by a compact pump, called a “hydraulic heart,” which uses water to move the muscles. The water stays inside the system, and if it ever needs more, the ...

When robots work safely with humans, they can provide clear benefits. Industries facing labor shortages, such as elder care, could see relief. Physically demanding jobs might also become safer for ...

In a new paper called “Humanoid Policy ∼ Human Policy,” Apple researchers propose an interesting way to train humanoid robots. And it involves wearing an Apple Vision Pro. The project is a ...

Developed by MicroFactory, the general-purpose tabletop robot can be trained with the help of AI or human demonstration. The ...

CU Boulder aerospace engineer Morteza Lahijanian is creating new algorithms that help robots complete tasks while keeping the humans in their midst safer.

Imagine for a moment that you’re in an auto factory. A robot and a human are working next to each other on the production line. The robot is busy rapidly assembling car doors while the human runs ...

At UC Berkeley, researchers in Sergey Levine’s Robotic AI and Learning Lab eyed a table where a tower of 39 Jenga blocks stood perfectly stacked. Then a white-and-black robot, its single limb doubled ...

A new algorithm has been designed to enable robots to make safer decisions around humans. In a factory setting, robots and humans can form strong teams. The robot handles repetitive tasks like ...

Welcome to this week’s episode of “man-made horrors beyond human comprehension.” A humanoid robot named DeREK had what you might call a “moment” on the floor of a San Francisco robotics lab this week, ...

John McCormick receives funding from the Australian Research Council. Robots come in a vast array of shapes and sizes. By definition, they’re machines that perform automatic tasks and can be operated ...
