Robots are super interesting, but you probably shouldn’t start learning about them with a full-sized industrial SCARA arm or anything. Better to learn with something smaller and simpler to understand.

Foundation models have made great advances in robotics, enabling the creation of vision-language-action (VLA) models that generalize to objects, scenes, and tasks beyond their training data. However, ...

Inside a UNC-Chapel Hill Science lab sits an autonomous robot. Imagine a machine like a Roomba, but with an arm, so it can pick up things like a dirty sock off the floor. A group of researchers from ...

Understanding LeRobot Simulation The Genesis of LeRobot. So, what exactly is LeRobot? Think of it as a new toolkit that Hugging Face put together, aiming to make robotics a bit mo ...

Microsoft introduces Rho-alpha, an AI that understands human commands and controls two-armed robots with near-human precision.

Alphabet Inc.’s artificial intelligence lab is debuting two new models focused on robotics, which will help developers train robots to respond to unfamiliar scenarios — a longstanding challenge in the ...

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent six days a week. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. Tech giant Google and its subsidiary AI research lab, DeepMind ...

With this update, 1X Technologies' NEO leverages internet-scale video data fine-tuned on robot data to perform AI tasks.

The new model from Google DeepMind is a huge step toward robots that can generalize. Google DeepMind has released a new model, Gemini Robotics, that combines its best large language model with ...

In sci-fi tales, artificial intelligence often powers all sorts of clever, capable, and occasionally homicidal robots. A revealing limitation of today’s best AI is that, for now, it remains squarely ...

31 months after incorporating, Figure is shipping its second model, Figure 02, to commercial clients according to a LinkedIn post by CEO Brett Adcock. Figure therefore joins Agility Robotics’ robot, ...
