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.

If you've ever wished you could outsource tasks like laundry, dishes, or assembling an IKEA bookshelf — well, Elon Musk ...

Teaching robots human-like movements requires significant trial and error. Most robots need to be shown the same action ...

(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 ...

Thanks to researchers at TU Wein in Vienna, the promise of housecleaning robots is one step closer. The team has developed a self-learning robot to mimic humans to complete simple tasks like cleaning ...

(Nanowerk News) Robots have been working in factories for many years. But given the complex and diverse tasks they perform, as well as related safety concerns, most of them operate inside cages or ...

Researchers have developed a new learning method for robots called WHIRL, short for In-the-Wild Human Imitating Robot Learning. WHIRL is an efficient algorithm for one-shot visual imitation. It can ...

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 at the University of California at Berkeley have developed algorithms that allow robots to learn by making mistakes -- just like a real person. Michelle Starr is CNET's science editor, and ...

A robot dog can learn to walk on unfamiliar and hard-to-master terrain, such as grass, bark and hiking trails, in just 20 minutes, thanks to a machine learning algorithm. Most autonomous robots have ...
