2025年1月15日 · “This new robot platform is a major result from our group and leads to many exciting directions. For example, incorporating sensors, batteries, and computing capabilities on this robot will be a central focus in the next three to five years,” Chen says.

2 天之前 · Teaching a robot its limits, to complete open-ended tasks safely. The “PRoC3S” method helps an LLM create a viable action plan by testing each step in a simulation. This strategy could eventually aid in-home robots to complete more ambiguous chore requests. December 12, 2024. Read full story →

2025年1月16日 · An AI that helps humanoid robots mirror a person’s movement could allow robots to walk, dance and fight in more convincingly human ways. The most agile and fluid robotic movements, such as ...

2025年1月28日 · “I have 2-year-old twin daughters, and I see them manipulating objects, carrying 10 different toys at a time, navigating across cluttered rooms with ease, and quickly adapting to new environments. Robot perception cannot yet match what a toddler can do,” Carlone says. “But we have new tools in the arsenal. And the future is bright.”

The word “robot” was coined by the Czech writer Karel Čapek in a 1920 play called Rossum’s Universal Robots, and is derived from the Czech robota, meaning “drudgery” or “servitude”.

2025年1月17日 · An insect-inspired robot that only weighs as much as a raisin can perform acrobatics and fly for much longer than any previous insect-sized drone without falling apart.. For tiny flying robots to ...

2024年11月20日 · A pigeon-inspired robot has solved the mystery of how birds fly without the vertical tail fins that human-designed aircraft rely on. Its makers say the prototype could eventually lead to passenger ...

2024年8月8日 · The robot, which has an arm attached to its back, completed manipulation tasks after practicing for a few hours. In one demonstration, the robot learned how to securely place a ball and ring on a slanted table in roughly three hours. In another, the algorithm guided the machine to improve at sweeping toys into a bin within about two hours.

2024年12月4日 · A robot that can jump into flight like a bird could eliminate the need for runways for small fixed-winged drones.. Birds use the powerful explosive force generated by their legs to leap into the ...

2024年5月10日 · Here, a reconfigurable robot learns to elongate and curve its soft body to weave around obstacles and reach a target. Image: Courtesy of the researchers “Such a robot could have thousands of small pieces of muscle to control, so it is very hard to learn in a traditional way,” says Chen.
