Coordinating groups of underwater robots is difficult because communication below the surface is slow and unreliable. GPS ...

This research advances hybrid soft-rigid robot simulations, achieving up to 1000 times faster computations through analytical derivatives in the GVS framework.

Robots can be better at detecting mental wellbeing issues in children than parent-reported or self-reported testing, a new study suggests. A team of roboticists, computer scientists and psychiatrists ...

Researchers at Miguel Hernández University (Elche, Spain) have developed MCL-DLF, a coarse-to-fine 3D LiDAR localization approach combining Monte Carlo Localization with deep local features for ...

In a study that delves into the ever-evolving world of robotics, researchers have embarked on an intriguing challenge: pitting humans against 27 humanoid robots to see who is "far superior." The study ...

A major national study will pitch human skill against machine precision as it compares the benefits of knee replacement surgery performed using a robot to a surgeon using traditional methods. Knee ...

Researchers have developed a mathematical framework to design knee-like joints in robots, called rolling contact joints. This could lead to make better robotic grippers, more tailored assistive ...

Mobile robots must continuously estimate their position to navigate autonomously. However, satellite-based navigation systems ...

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 ...

Humanity is devoted to constructing its own demise because we’re absolutely obsessed with building robots, and there’s no sign of slowing down anytime soon. It doesn’t even matter the type of robot, ...
