When it comes to controlling robots, it isn't just a matter of finding ways to give them commands, but of making sure they're carrying out those commands properly. To help with this, a team from ...

The system uses a machine learning technique called attention-based map encoding, trained through reinforcement learning.

Atlas, Boston Dynamics’ dancing humanoid, can now use a single model for walking and grasping—a significant step toward ...

Robots are here to stay, and they’re only getting smarter. But it’ll be a while until they respond to our every verbal command, so until then we’ll have to use our mind to communicate with ...

Researchers have developed biosensor technology that will allow you to operate devices, such as robots and machines, solely through thought control.

The Twitterati have been freaked out for several days now over a video showcasing the creepy door-opening ability of the SpotMini, a dog-like robot from Boston Dynamics. The robot is so creepily ...

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

The robot was no doubt designed with a number of useful applications in mind. According to MIT, a team has already used the system for tasks like picking up and assembling mock airplane components.

Inspired by the remarkable strength and efficiency of dung beetles, researchers have developed robots that mimic the beetle’s unique object-rolling mechanics.

Medical science has hedged its hopes on mind control to help people living with mobility issues, while the consumer-facing side of the tech industry sees it as another cutting-edge solution to ...

We’re a little closer to getting all-purpose robots that change shape depending on the job, thanks to researchers who created a way for machines to mind meld. In the new system, the robot is ...
