Intuitive methods for programming robots have become more common in a push to lower barriers to adoption. Currently, there are three common methods for programming robots: The teach method, ...

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 ...

To improve the safety and efficiency of Toyota’s manufacturing processes—starting with its hot forging production lines—the automotive manufacturer is working with Ready Robotics and its Ready ForgeOS ...

A new safety-check technique can prove with 100 percent accuracy that a planned robot motion will not result in a collision. The method can generate a proof in seconds and does so in a way that can be ...

The field of human-robot interaction (HRI) is rapidly emerging as a significant interdisciplinary research area that focuses on developing robotic technologies and interfaces that enable robots to ...

Stanford researchers have become the first to demonstrate that machine-learning control can safely guide a robot aboard the ...

One of the more fascinating sights of an autumn evening is the flocking behaviour of starlings as they lurch and swoop in extraordinary demonstrations of aerodynamic synchronisation. It turns out that ...

Before a robot can grab dishes off a shelf to set the table, it must ensure its gripper and arm won’t crash into anything and potentially shatter the fine china. As part of its motion planning process ...
