Over the past two decades, humanoid robots have greatly improved their ability to perform functions like grasping objects and using computer vision to detect things since Honda’s release of the ASIMO ...

A robot, trained for the first time by watching videos of seasoned surgeons, executed the same surgical procedures as skillfully as the human doctors. The successful use of imitation learning to train ...

Researchers at Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (UC3M) have developed a new methodology for a robot to learn how to move its ...

What sets this approach apart is the training method. Instead of painstakingly programming each movement, the robot learned by watching hundreds of videos recorded from wrist-mounted cameras on da ...

Imitation learning is a powerful concept in AI. A type of learning where behaviors are acquired by mimicking a person’s actions, it enables a system to perform a task by creating a “mapping” between ...

A humanoid robot named EMO learned to mimic human speech and expressions by practicing in front of a mirror, astonishing ...

Robotics is entering a new phase where general-purpose learning matters as much as mechanical design. Instead of programming ...

Researchers have developed a new learning method for robots called WHIRL, short for In-the-Wild Human Imitating Robot Learning. WHIRL is an efficient algorithm for one-shot visual imitation. It can ...

Iman Soltani is developing active vision technology that would allow robots to change their line of sight and viewpoint to complete tasks instead of relying on multiple cameras. Here, Soltani (left) ...

Artificial intelligence (AI) is learning to mimic expert scientists and thus improve the processing steps needed to produce cell therapies. Multiply Labs and Stanford University’s Laboratory for Cell ...

Step inside the Soft Robotics Lab at ETH Zurich, and you find yourself in a space that is part children’s nursery, part high-tech workshop and part cabinet of curiosities. The lab benches are strewn ...
