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 ...

Once upon a time, machine learning was an arcane field, the preserve of a precious few researchers holed up in grand academic institutions. Progress was slow, and hard won. Today, however, just about ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Being a baby is harder than it looks. Born into the world knowing almost nothing, they spend their first few years getting a PhD in navigating a physical environment. Likewise, ...

A robot observes its reflection in a mirror, learning its own morphology and kinematics for autonomous self-simulation. The process highlights the intersection of vision-based learning and robotics, ...

Sergey Levine is an assistant professor at UC Berkeley whose research is focused on the thing our parents used to make such a fuss over, whenever we made stupid mistakes or should have known to avoid ...

Inside the robotics laboratory of the Toyota Research Institute (TRI) in Cambridge, Massachusetts, a group of robots are busy cooking. There is nothing special about that; robotic chefs have been ...

A select group of 20 fifth graders participated in Marie Curie Institute’s Robotics Club this winter. The club met over a 10 week period to learn about robots, to build a robot, and to program their ...

UMA (Universal Mechanical Assistant), a new robotics intelligence company founded by former leaders from Tesla, Google ...

Johns Hopkins University researchers have created a system that could make social robots more effective at detecting and managing user interruptions in real time based on a human speaker's intent—a ...

The race to build the world’s first functional humanoid robots is no longer just a contest of hardware. It’s a high-stakes battle over two radically different philosophies of development, the crux of ...

What if your childhood Tamagotchi could step off the screen and into the real world? Imagine a tiny robot, complete with blinking eyes and lifelike movements, responding to your voice and following ...

It takes years of intense study and a steady hand for humans to perform surgery, but robots might have an easier time picking it up with today's AI technology. Researchers at Johns Hopkins University ...
