A growing workforce of robot controllers is teaching humanoids to move like people so they can work in factories and homes. The humanoid robots are being taught how to do basic tasks: pouring coffee, ...
Most robot headlines follow a familiar script: a machine masters one narrow trick in a controlled lab, then comes the bold promise that everything is about to change. I usually tune those stories out.
Imagine a robot that could do your laundry, make your bed, cook your dinner, or stock the dairy section at your local grocery store. Humans have long been able to teach robots how to do individual ...
Despite decades of progress, most robots are still programmed for specific, repetitive tasks. They struggle with the unexpected and can't adapt to new situations without painstaking reprogramming. But ...
The latest boom in robotics represents a revolution in the way machines have learned to interact with the world. Roboticists used to dream big but build small. They’d hope to match or exceed the ...
In a world where self-driving robotaxis glide through major city streets without drivers behind the wheel and delivery drones autonomously fly through the skies to drop off orders at customers’ homes, ...
The vision of robots as true partners in our daily work has remained just that—a vision. While we’ve seen an explosion of humanoid and semi-humanoid designs recently, these new platforms face a ...
In this blog, Everest Group’s Peter Bendor-Samuel and Richard Sear combine their perspectives from years of advising enterprises and analyzing emerging technologies. Together, they explore how ...
The worldwide AI race is fast developing beyond the computer screen and focusing on the physical world around us. Top labs are intent on making "thinking" robots, with brains that mimic our own, which ...
As industrial robots begin learning from simulations, digital twins and even one another, automation on the factory floor is entering a new phase. Instead of relying solely on preprogrammed ...
Do AI models understand the language that they produce? To help answer this question and elucidate the mechanisms of language acquisition more generally, researchers at the Okinawa Institute of ...
