Scientists say they've made a key breakthrough that would allow robots to figure out complex tasks on their own, but experts ...

Swiss scientists have published research showing AI-informed robots can learn how to self correct and teach other robots how to behave. It raises questions of consciousness in artificial intelligence.

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Learning has been a holy grail in robotics for decades. If these systems are going to thrive in unpredictable environments, ...

A new algorithm developed by USC computer science researchers shows that robots can, in computer simulations, learn tasks after a single demonstration Aging populations and caregivers stand to benefit ...

Most robot headlines follow a familiar script: a machine masters one narrow trick in a controlled lab, then comes the bold promise that everything is about to change. I usually tune those stories out.

New work has enabled robots to learn household chores by watching videos of people performing everyday tasks in their homes. Vision-Robotics Bridge, or VRB for short, uses the concept of affordances ...

Not long ago, the idea of a humanoid robot folding laundry, loading a dishwasher, or making a simple meal felt like science fiction. Robots could weld cars, move boxes, and follow tightly scripted ...

Lerrel Pinto says the key to building useful home robots is helping them learn from their mistakes. Lerrel Pinto is one of MIT Technology Review’s 2023 Innovators Under 35. Asked to explain his work, ...

A robot observes its reflection in a mirror, learning its own morphology and kinematics for autonomous self-simulation. The process highlights the intersection of vision-based learning and robotics, ...

Mars rovers have teams of human experts on Earth telling them what to do. But robots on lander missions to moons orbiting Saturn or Jupiter are too far away to receive timely commands from Earth.

ADELPHI, Md. — Army researchers developed a novel computational model that allows robots to ask clarifying questions to Soldiers, enabling them to be more effective teammates in tactical environments.
