Robots are rapidly moving beyond pre-programmed automation into a new era of adaptive, learning-driven autonomy. At the center of this transformation is the rise of AI-powered Robot Operating Systems ...

What models are available to engineers for prototype development using AI? (There are more than you think!) In situations where voice control or keyboard or touchscreen commands aren’t practical, are ...

[Jack Qiao] wanted an autonomous robot that could be handy around an ever-changing shop. He didn’t want a robot he’d have to baby sit. If he said, ‘bring me the 100 ohm resistors’, it would go find ...

Engineers devised a recipe for improving any autonomous robotic system. Their optimization code can automatically identify how and where to tweak a system to improve a robot's performance. Autonomous ...

Many companies are focused on building robots, or the hardware components to help them move, grip objects, or interact with the world around them. Silicon Valley-based OpenMind is focused under the ...

On a recent trip to the Bay Area, I took a few hours to pay a visit to Berkeley Artificial Intelligence Research Lab (BAIR). Professor Ken Goldberg walked me around the lab and introduced me to a ...
