Artificial intelligence is changing the capabilities of four-legged robots, allowing them to navigate difficult terrain, ...

Why would you want a robot to see inside a sealed box? Digging deeper beyond the initial creepy thought, a new breakthrough from MIT could soon let warehouse robots do something pretty remarkable.

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. I'm a senior tech contributor who writes about science and technology MIT CSAIL researchers have developed a new system that ...

Robots are getting better at recognising objects, navigating buildings and following spoken instructions, but remembering places over long periods has remained a surprisingly difficult task. While ...

Researchers have developed a new algorithm called cuTAMP to accelerate robot task and motion planning (TAMP). TAMP involves generating a high-level task plan—a sequence of actions—and a corresponding ...

Engineers at MIT have devised an ingenious new way to produce artificial muscles for soft robots that can flex in more than one direction, similar to the complex muscles in the human body. The team ...

MIT’s DAAAM gives robots long-term memory by attaching language descriptions to 3D maps. You can ask “where did I leave my wallet?” and it knows. Robots are still surprisingly bad at remembering where ...

AI success depends on whether enterprise data is ready, reachable, and close enough to the workloads that need it. In this eSpeaks episode, Dell Technologies’ Vrashank Jain explains why fragmented ...

As useful and impressive as robots can be, they present one ubiquitous concern: Will they take our jobs? Robots and other autonomous technologies are rapidly gaining prevalence across a variety of ...

Picture a robot capable of changing its shape on demand, squishing, bending, or stretching to perform various tasks like navigating tight spaces or retrieving objects. While this may sound like ...

Harvard and MIT engineers, showing a reckless disregard for the robocalypse, have created origami robots that can self-assemble themselves -- from a flat piece of paper and polystyrene -- and walk ...
