Traditional safety protocols weren’t designed for self-improving systems, which raises important questions about validation, ...

After a decade in manufacturing, Sze Yuan Cheong co-founded Devol Robots to close the gap between robotic theory and ...

Robotics is entering a new phase where general-purpose learning matters as much as mechanical design. Instead of programming every behavior by hand, modern robots are increasingly expected to learn ...

A robot, trained for the first time by watching videos of seasoned surgeons, executed the same surgical procedures as skillfully as the human doctors. The successful use of imitation learning to train ...

And, before that, Krieger's Smart Tissue Autonomous Robot, STAR, performed the first autonomous robot surgery on a live animal – a laparoscopic surgery on a pig – in 2022. But it was much more heavily ...

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 ...

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.

Whether they are designing robots, solving problems or teaching others, Kirtland students are learning a range of skills in the school district’s FIRST programs. Students on the district’s FIRST Lego ...

Fig. 1(a) illustrates a typical robotic manipulation system. It features a robotic arm equipped with sensors like cameras and end-effectors such as grippers, enabling it to manipulate a wide range of ...
