The new algorithm could help robots make safer, smarter decisions around humans, even amidst the greatest uncertainties.

Imagine for a moment that you're in an auto factory. A robot and a human are working next to each other on the production line. The robot is busy rapidly assembling car doors while the human runs ...

Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) researchers are working on a new generation of tiny bots inspired by creepy ...

Algorithm tells robots where nearby humans are headed Date: June 12, 2019 Source: Massachusetts Institute of Technology Summary: A new tool for predicting a person's movement trajectory may help ...

Robots don't have instincts, so they have to be taught how to fall gracefully and that is where a new robot algorithm comes in.

Collaborative learning -- for robots: New algorithm Date: June 25, 2014 Source: Massachusetts Institute of Technology Summary: Machine learning, in which computers learn new skills by looking for ...

Robots are great at many things, but working together in an unfamiliar setting isn't one of them – until now, that is. A team of researchers from MIT has developed an algorithm that streamlines ...

Today's industrial robots are remarkably efficient—as long as they're in a controlled environment where everything is exactly where they expect it to be.

Engineers at the University of Michigan are developing algorithms that allow an unsupported bipedal robot named MARLO to negotiate uneven, unstable ground without toppling over.

Like other computer vision algorithms used to train robots, their robot learned about its world by first sifting through a database of 4,000 three-dimensional objects spread across ten different ...

When you’re a robot, a new motion-planning algorithm can mean the difference between waving your arms around like an inflatable tube man and reaching for a coffee mug like you’re supposed to ...

Robot dogs can move efficiently, but not all that naturally -- and no, twerking doesn't count. Virginia Tech researchers think they can do better. They're developing a combination of algorithms ...
