Robots are super interesting, but you probably shouldn’t start learning about them with a full-sized industrial SCARA arm or anything. Better to learn with something smaller and simpler to understand.

In the first days of my son’s life, during the fall of 2023, he spent much of the time when he wasn’t sleeping or eating engaged in what some cognitive scientists call “motor babbling.” His arms and ...

Learning has been a holy grail in robotics for decades. If these systems are going to thrive in unpredictable environments, they’ll need to do more than just respond to programming -- they’ll need to ...

Intrinsic motivation, a concept drawn from behavioural science, has gained significant traction in robotic research as a means to stimulate exploratory behaviour in the absence of explicit external ...

There’s a fun way to learn robotics. The SunFounder PiDog Kit lets you build and program your own robot dog that can do tricks, learn commands, and do so much more. It sounds expensive, but this ...

Researchers are using generative AI and other techniques to teach robots new skills—including tasks they could perform in homes. Silent. Rigid. Clumsy. Henry and Jane Evans are used to awkward ...

Of all the technology that Computer Information Science (CIS) majors at Gwynedd Mercy University get to use and learn from, ...

Discover whether the Wuffy Robot Dog is worth buying in 2025. See features, benefits, price, safety, and real customer ...

Researchers working on multiple projects in Europe and the United States are using cloud computing to teach robotic systems to perform a multitude of tasks ranging from household chores to serving ...

A new study from researchers at the University of Michigan shows that feeding a robot fabricated or augmented data when no data sets were available increases the ability of that robot’s performance by ...

Researchers have developed a new control approach that enables a legged robot, called ANYmal, to move quickly and robustly over difficult terrain. Thanks to machine learning, the robot can combine its ...
