Robots have gotten exceptionally good at specialized tasks—vacuuming floors, stacking boxes, welding parts, or navigating controlled warehouses. Yet the dream ...

Explore how vision-language-action models like Helix, GR00T N1, and RT-1 are enabling robots to understand instructions and act autonomously.

Robots are getting better at sensing their surroundings, but moving safely through unfamiliar spaces remains a bottleneck. Most autonomous systems still depend on building detailed maps, fusing ...

Foundation models have made great advances in robotics, enabling the creation of vision-language-action (VLA) models that generalize to objects, scenes, and tasks beyond their training data. However, ...

Robotics startup Rhoda AI has emerged from stealth with a new approach to robot ...

Alphabet Inc.’s artificial intelligence lab is debuting two new models focused on robotics, which will help developers train robots to respond to unfamiliar scenarios — a longstanding challenge in the ...

Inside a UNC-Chapel Hill Science lab sits an autonomous robot. Imagine a machine like a Roomba, but with an arm, so it can pick up things like a dirty sock off the floor. A group of researchers from ...

Engineers at the University of Oxford have developed a remarkably simple and inexpensive way to build soft robots. Using common laboratory tools and low-cost materials, the new method allows ...

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent six days a week. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. Tech giant Google and its subsidiary AI research lab, DeepMind ...

Microsoft has unveiled Rho-alpha, a next-generation robotics AI model designed to help machines understand the physical world, make decisions in real time, and execute complex tasks with greater ...

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.

31 months after incorporating, Figure is shipping its second model, Figure 02, to commercial clients according to a LinkedIn post by CEO Brett Adcock. Figure therefore joins Agility Robotics’ robot, ...
