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.

Foundation models have made great advances in robotics, enabling the creation of vision-language-action (VLA) models that generalize to objects, scenes, and tasks beyond their training data. However, ...

Robotics is entering a new phase where general-purpose learning matters as much as mechanical design. Instead of programming every behavior by hand, modern robots are increasingly expected to learn ...

Nvidia-led researchers unveiled DreamDojo, a robot “world model” trained on 44,000 hours of human egocentric video to help ...

Alphabet Inc.’s artificial intelligence lab is debuting two new models focused on robotics, which will help developers train robots to respond to unfamiliar scenarios — a longstanding challenge in the ...

Inside a UNC-Chapel Hill Science lab sits an autonomous robot. Imagine a machine like a Roomba, but with an arm, so it can pick up things like a dirty sock off the floor. A group of researchers from ...

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent six days a week. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. Tech giant Google and its subsidiary AI research lab, DeepMind ...

Google DeepMind introduced Gemini Robotics On-Device, a vision-language-action (VLA) foundation model designed to run locally on robot hardware. The model features low-latency inference and can be ...

The new model from Google DeepMind is a huge step toward robots that can generalize. Google DeepMind has released a new model, Gemini Robotics, that combines its best large language model with ...

In an era where artificial intelligence and robotics are rapidly converging, Hugging Face’s latest breakthrough is set to democratize access to advanced robotics technology. The company has introduced ...

In sci-fi tales, artificial intelligence often powers all sorts of clever, capable, and occasionally homicidal robots. A revealing limitation of today’s best AI is that, for now, it remains squarely ...

As robotics has advanced, industry has steadily adopted more robots to automate many kinds of grunt work. More than 540,000 new industrial robots were installed worldwide in 2023, taking the number of ...
