The Columbia University researchers achieved the feat by allowing their robot, EMO, to study itself in a mirror. It learned ...

An orange wheel rolls across concrete and suddenly jumps, as if it decided to ...

This spinning-mass principle drives several robots in development. One is a remote-controlled wheel that jumps when the internal mass rotates fast enough to lift it off the ground. Unlike spring-based ...

A robot observes its reflection in a mirror, learning its own morphology and kinematics for autonomous self-simulation. The process highlights the intersection of vision-based learning and robotics, ...

Robots are becoming smarter and more common, but their ability to handle objects with human-like precision remains limited. At Kennesaw State University, new research is enabling robots to better ...

The symmetrical design and flexible fingers mean that the robot can transport objects on either side of its body. For humans, ...

Robots that move, sense and even coordinate with one another usually bring to mind tangled wires, circuit boards and humming motors. In a new study from the University of Oxford, all of that ...

Researchers have succeeded in developing the smallest fully autonomous robot in history. It measures less than 1 millimeter and can swim underwater for months powered only by light.

Scientists have created a robot that learns lip movements by watching humans rather than following preset rules. The ...

Robots often fail outside factories when things move or change. Technology helps them see, feel, and learn, so they can work ...

The researchers detailed their findings in the journal Nature Machine Intelligence. "Like humans learning to dance by ...

(Nanowerk News) By watching their own motions with a camera, robots can teach themselves about the structure of their own bodies and how they move, a new study from researchers at Columbia Engineering ...
