A catering robot distributes noodles during the 2025 International Robot Exhibition (iREX) in Tokyo, Japan, Dec. 5, 2025. The ...

(Nanowerk News) By watching their own motions with a camera, robots can teach themselves about the structure of their own bodies and how they move, a new study from researchers at Columbia Engineering ...

Researchers with DARPA’s Machine Common Sense (MCS) program demonstrated a series of improvements to robotic system performance over multiple experiments. Just as infants must learn from experience, ...

Ancient mudras offer a blueprint for smoother robot hand movement and could inspire new approaches to motor training and ...

(Nanowerk News) Robots have been working in factories for many years. But given the complex and diverse tasks they perform, as well as related safety concerns, most of them operate inside cages or ...

Thanks to researchers at TU Wein in Vienna, the promise of housecleaning robots is one step closer. The team has developed a self-learning robot to mimic humans to complete simple tasks like cleaning ...

Robots are super interesting, but you probably shouldn’t start learning about them with a full-sized industrial SCARA arm or anything. Better to learn with something smaller and simpler to understand.

Stanford researchers have become the first to demonstrate that machine-learning control can safely guide a robot aboard the ...

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 have developed a new control approach that enables a legged robot, called ANYmal, to move quickly and robustly over difficult terrain. Thanks to machine learning, the robot can combine its ...

Researchers at the University of California at Berkeley have developed algorithms that allow robots to learn by making mistakes -- just like a real person. Michelle Starr is CNET's science editor, and ...

A research team in South Korea has developed a soft robot named Octoid that can mimic the movement and behavior of an octopus ...
