If someone advises you to “know your limits,” they’re likely suggesting you do things like exercise in moderation. To a robot, though, the motto represents learning constraints, or limitations of a specific task within the […]

The field of robotics is highly interdisciplinary, encompassing disciplines such as mechanical and electrical engineering, materials science, computer science, neuroscience and biology. The robotics community in itself is a champion of academic diversity.This post was […]

The robotics field is advancing rapidly, with a growing emphasis on improving machine autonomy and interaction. As robots are tasked with increasingly complex activities, their ability to operate effectively in dynamic and unpredictable environments becomes […]

On September 11, 2001, during the terrorist attacks in New York, the commander of one of the firefighting teams had an idea that he had to get his team out of the skyscraper they were […]

A team of mechanical engineers at Nanyang Technological University, in Singapore, has developed a way to automate the process of merging live cockroaches and electronics to create cyborg cockroaches, greatly speeding up the process. In […]

Europe’s road network is its economic backbone. Mostly constructed after World War II, extensive maintenance is essential as it’s nearing its end of life. Increasing traffic volumes and more frequent road works result in traffic […]

To help humans to complete everyday manual tasks, robots should be able to reliably manipulate everyday objects that vary in shape, texture and size. Many conventional approaches to enable robotic manipulation of various objects rely […]

Better, faster artificial intelligence is fueling a rise in human-like robots for customer service at places like hotels and airports, especially in areas outside the U.S. But many robots still fail to connect with people, […]
