DeepMind's updated Gemini Robotics models mark a shift from single-task machines to robots that plan multi-step missions.

The Linux Foundation, the nonprofit organization enabling mass innovation through open source, today welcomed Newton, an open source, GPU-accelerated, extensible physics engine that enables faster, ...

The new Gemini Robotics 1.5 models enable robots to carry out multistep tasks and even learn from each other.

Researchers are using generative AI and other techniques to teach robots new skills—including tasks they could perform in homes. Silent. Rigid. Clumsy. Henry and Jane Evans are used to awkward ...

Reinforcement learning (RL) is transforming the way robots interact with the world. Unlike traditional programming or supervised learning, which depend on pre-defined ...

A single AI model trained to control numerous robotic bodies can operate unfamiliar hardware and adapt eerily well to serious ...

Brooks, who co-founded iRobot and spent decades at MIT, is particularly skeptical of companies like Tesla and Figure trying ...

Robotics investments were trending in the right direction prior to 2020, but the pandemic dramatically increased investor interest as more firms pushed to automate work. Manufacturing has been ...

A new study from researchers at the University of Michigan shows that feeding a robot fabricated or augmented data when no data sets were available increases the ability of that robot’s performance by ...

Researchers working on multiple projects in Europe and the United States are using cloud computing to teach robotic systems to perform a multitude of tasks ranging from household chores to serving ...

I’ll start this article by admitting to a bias. When I think of software, especially artificial intelligence (AI), I tend to think of Silicon Valley and then, if I must, of Boston. I know that it ...

An army of more than 4,000 marching doglike robots is a vaguely menacing sight, even in a simulation. But it may point the way for machines to learn new tricks. In the simulation, the machines—called ...
