Professor Brenna Argall talks about the importance of her Northwestern course and how her students will be able to implement the lessons they learn. When Professor Brenna Argall talks about the ...

Robots are everywhere, from the assembly line of major factories to the vacuums cleaning the living room carpet. As big tech companies continue to innovate, they are only becoming increasingly woven ...

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 ...

Teaching a robot arm to pick up a new object used to require thousands of practice runs. Google DeepMind says it has cut that ...

The robots are coming! At least, that’s what Nvidia is hoping for, with the technology company revealing a new AI system that can improve the functionality of humanoid robots. At this point, what ...

A virtual robot arm has learned to solve a wide range of different puzzles—stacking blocks, setting the table, arranging chess pieces—without having to be retrained for each task. It did this by ...

It’s an exciting time for robotic learning. Organizations have spent decades building complex datasets and pioneering different ways to teach systems to perform new tasks. It seems we’re on the cusp ...

There were no robots available for the class. But when Don Davis and Brian Guy were approached by undergraduates in the engineering technology robotics class for support, they found a way to improve ...

Imagine a world where robots clean your home, beaches, and even public spaces. We're already well on our way there, but a new self-learning robotic arm developed by researchers at TU Wien in Austria ...

Just in time for ski-flying season, researchers have given a robotic quadrocopter the tool it needs to teach itself how to soar through a slalom course. The tool is a learning algorithm. Each time the ...
