Computer scientists have taught an artificial intelligence agent how to do something that usually only humans can do -- take a few quick glimpses around and infer its whole environment, a skill necessary for the development of effective search-and-rescue robots that one day can improve the effective...
BURTON — Sloan Museum visitors can explore the biomechanics of complex animal robots to discover how real animals work at the newest traveling exhibit, The Robot Zoo. The traveling exhibit, created by Evergreen Exhibitions, is open now through Sept. 8, at Sloan Museum's Courtland Center Mall locatio...
The current wave of excitement around machine learning kicked off when graphics processors were repurposed to make training deep neural networks practical. Nvidia found themselves the engine of a ne
The process would likely take some time as Amazon tries to perfect the technology and make sure it's capable of operating smoothly, according to Reuters.
Julius, the robot above, can track people, robots, and machines, as well as monitor environmental conditions
Thanks to its four tiny wings, the robot can adjust both altitude and orientation.
We're in the middle of a full-fledged international recycling crisis. The only hope may be to deal with the mess ourselves.
Seqwater, the authority responsible for ensuring clean water is delivered to 3.1 million Queenslanders, has deployed an autonomous robot to check the quality of its water supplies and reservoirs. Seqwater, collaborated with robotic researchers at the Queensland University of Technology’s QUT’s Insti...
From watching pulp cook for hours on end and tracking parasite bugs on satellite photos to handling lengthy legal documents, Swedish forest companies are creating new jobs they would never ask a human to do.
The creepy crawly in the video above is a robot called the Longitudinally Extensible Continuum-robot inspired by Hirudinea (LEeCH) which can elongate and bend its body to climb walls, just like a leech. The robot is made from a shower hose with two suction cups attached and is part of a growing tren...
Massachusetts-based Locus Robotics this week announced that it has secured a $26 million Series C.
Chinese robots equipped with sensors that imitate human eyes, noses, and tongues are pigging out on the job.
The walls of each home can be printed in just 24 hours with nearly zero waste.
Artificial intelligence (AI) could help scientists shed new light on the variety of species living on the ocean floor, according to new research led by the University of Plymouth.

How many times in the past week do you think your life was affected by a robot? Let’s take a look at some of the robots you probably have no idea about.
The new Microsoft Ideas feature for Word uses artificial intelligence to ensure your writing doesn't feature non-inclusive language.
Two interns are prototyping soft robots made using 3D printing and silicon.
The future of Amazon’s logistics network will undoubtedly involve artificial intelligence and robotics, but it’s an open question at what point AI-powered machines will be doing a majority of the work. According to Scott Anderson, the company’s director of robotics fulfillment, the point at which an...
If you have to do a lot of drawing on a whiteboard, you also have to clean it. Why not have a robot do this instead? That’s the idea behind Wipy, an Arduino Uno-based robot that uses magnets to stick to the board, along with grippy wheels and motors to power across your scribbles.Wipy employ
Mars is a dry and dusty place, and strong winds can kick up huge plumes of material that block out the Sun for days, weeks, or even months at a time. The fate of NASA's Opportunity rover -- which shut down after a colossal dust storm prevented its solar panels from generating power -- was a harsh
Ava Robotics, which is applying autonomy to telepresence robots, has raised funding in addition to a MassTLC 5G Robotics Challenge award it received a few months ago.
Produce grown by startup Iron Ox's robot farm is now available for purchase, a futuristic example of how technology is transforming agriculture.
