Robot navigation relies on algorithms that optimise the route a machine follows from its starting point to a goal while avoiding obstacles and minimising criteria such as time, energy consumption or ...

Imagine working at a warehouse or office sometime in the near future, and you're asked to help a new trainee learn the basics ...

Evolution is a very slow process, due largely to the fact that nature doesn't "know" in advance which features of an animal will be beneficial. A new AI-based algorithm does know, however, allowing it ...

Plenty of companies have demoed home robots, but few, if any, have actually been released. The truth is that even the most advanced robots aren't very good at interacting with objects and environments ...

Teaching robots to manipulate objects with humanlike dexterity has long been one of robotics' toughest challenges. Tasks such ...

Researchers have designed an algorithm that can intercept a man-in-the-middle (MitM) cyberattack on an unmanned military robot and shut it down in seconds. The algorithm, tested in real time, achieved ...

What if robots could learn to handle objects without watching humans? The new way training data is created can shape what robots learn.

Most robots have fixed body designs that cannot adapt to new environments or survive damage, making them fragile outside controlled settings. Researchers used AI-driven evolution and Lego-like modular ...
