Robotic systems that mirror humans both in their appearance and movements, also known as humanoid robots, could be best suited for tackling many tasks that are currently performed by human agents.

Researchers have unveiled a new method that lets robots handle irregular, curved objects with ...

Imagine walking into an unfamiliar grocery store in search of bottled water. Upon spotting a cooler near a cash register, you open the cooler door and snag a cold bottle. While this may be a simple ...

Foundation models have made great advances in robotics, enabling the creation of vision-language-action (VLA) models that generalize to objects, scenes, and tasks beyond their training data. However, ...

Researchers from Standford University, University of California Berkeley, Google DeepMind, Massachusetts Institute of Technology and other labs have released OpenVLA, an open-source ...

Fig. 1(a) illustrates a typical robotic manipulation system. It features a robotic arm equipped with sensors like cameras and end-effectors such as grippers, enabling it to manipulate a wide range of ...

Sanctuary AI's Phoenix robot is certainly an impressive beast, with hydraulically actuated hands that are incredibly dextrous. Well, those hands have recently become even more useful, as each one is ...

Industrial robotics is moving beyond repetitive, preprogrammed motions toward machines that can feel their way through complex tasks. From inserting tight-tolerance parts to handling deformable ...
