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 ...

Scientists have created a robot that can learn tasks like cleaning a washbasin just by watching humans. A special sponge with sensors is used to show the robot how to clean. Using an advanced machine ...

Valkyrie, a humanoid robot that was previously trained to assist NASA with Mars mission preparations, will soon return to the ...

Figure's Brett Adcock claimed a "ChatGPT moment" for humanoid robotics on the weekend. Now, we know what he means: the robot can now watch humans doing tasks, build its own understanding of how to do ...

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 ...

The activity begins with students reading or listening to a social story on friendship. Some students learn how to code with touch within a week and can move on, while others may take longer. A ...

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 ...

Students also learn how to use computer-programming language to give commands to the robots. Younger students are typically introduced to robotics principles through Lego kits, while older students ...

At Samuels Elementary School in southeast Denver, a fourth-grader named Dereón Moore is learning more than how to build a robot. "I never give up because then I just feel disappointed in myself that ...

The Toyota Research Institute has been doing some incredible work teaching robots to rapidly learn and perform tasks autonomously – now, it's bringing its Large Behavior Model tech to the ...

Local high school and college robotics teams are exploring new ways to integrate blockchain technology into their work, starting with simple automation and data tracking experiments. As they explore ...

Kris Weng (MSR '25) used his MSR final project to develop a dextrous robotic hand and arm that learns as it provides assistance. In 1989, video gamers around the world were sold the potential of ...
