This spinning-mass principle drives several robots in development. One is a remote-controlled wheel that jumps when the ...

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

The Columbia University researchers achieved the feat by allowing their robot, EMO, to study itself in a mirror. It learned how its flexible face and silicone lips would move in response to the ...

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

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 ...

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

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

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.

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 ...

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

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, ...

(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 ...
