A new study reports on how robots programmed to use simultaneous localization and mapping are able to improve their object recognition algorithms.
Researchers report Xenobots, a computer-designed, hand-assembled organism can find and gather single cells, and assemble "baby" Xenobots. After a few days, the immature Xanobots can also find cells and replicate themselves.
Applying theories from psychology and cognitive science may help humans learn to collaborate with robots faster and more effectively, researchers report.
Researchers investigate why feminine robots and AI systems, such as Siri and Alexa, are considered to be more humanistic than their male counterparts.
Researchers have developed a new robotic exoskeleton system that uses the power of thought control to help move a person's hand.
Surgeons have successfully performed the world's first operation inside the eye using a robot.
According to a new study, honey bees have much better vision than previously believed.
Researchers used Nash equilibrium game theory and adaptive control to program a robot that can better understand its human user's behavior. This allows the robot to anticipate and respond to the human's movements.
A prosthetic arm that is attached to the bone and controlled by electrodes implanted in nerves and muscles can operate more precisely than conventional prosthetic limbs. Researchers improved the neuroprosthetic hand by integrating tactile sensory feedback, so the patient can "feel" items.
A robotic system that can detect the emotional state of young learners and improve the learning experience is one step closer to entering the classroom, researchers report.
Researchers report it is now possible for machines to learn how artificial and natural systems work by simply observing them.
MIT researchers have developed a new, lightweight robotic hand that provides tactile feedback and is dexterous enough to perform tasks like zipping a suitcase and pouring juice.
