In the digital world, sight and sound had a bit of a head start, but our other senses have few practical applications. But that's not the case with robots, and MIT just leveraged an incredible new ...

Rodney Brooks said future “humanoid” robots will have wheels and multiple arms.

It has been said that robotics is the most challenging area of machine learning: even simple things, such as moving a robotic arm a small distance, are an incredibly complex engineering challenge. You ...

You know robotic grippers are getting advanced when they can pick up a potato chip without crushing it. In order to do that, they need tactile sensing and proprioception -- an awareness of where they ...

A team at MIT’s CSAIL demonstrated a new kind of “skin” designed to bring a sense of touch and place to soft robotic arms. The findings, which debuted in the IEEE Robotics and Automation Letters this ...

At some point in your life, you've probably used a combination of sight and touch to find something hidden beneath your couch cushions. And for a while now, robotics researchers have tried to give ...
