Researchers developed a deep learning neural network to aid the design of soft-bodied robots. The algorithm optimizes the arrangement of sensors on the robot, enabling it to complete tasks as ...

Mobile robot algorithms and coordination have emerged as a central discipline in robotics research, combining computational theory, distributed algorithms, and systems engineering. These algorithms ...

Inside a giant autonomous warehouse, hundreds of robots dart down aisles as they collect and distribute items to fulfill a ...

Developments in autonomous robotics have the potential to revolutionize manufacturing processes, making them more flexible, customizable, and efficient. But coordinating fleets of autonomous, mobile ...

A new robot has overcome a fundamental challenge of locomotion by teaching itself how to walk. Researchers from Google developed algorithms that helped the four-legged bot to learn how to walk across ...

Robot dogs can move efficiently, but not all that naturally -- and no, twerking doesn't count. Virginia Tech researchers think they can do better. They're developing a combination of algorithms and ...

"They can move freely in the wild and easily recover from major injuries." Researchers share footage of AI-designed robots ...

There's no question that robots will play an increasingly central role in our lives in the future, but to get to a stage where they can be genuinely useful there are still a number of challenges to be ...

Inspired by a theoretical model of particles moving around on a chessboard, new robot swarm research shows that, as magnetic interactions increase, dispersed 'dumb robots' can abruptly gather in large ...

Recently, the URKL (Ultimate Robot Knock-out Legend), initiated and hosted by EngineAI, has officially launched global registration. As a premier humanoid robot combat competition open to universities ...

Asparagus is one of the most labor-intensive crops on the market. Harvesting demands extreme precision—the terrain is uneven, ...

There are some tasks that traditional robots -- the rigid and metallic kind -- simply aren't cut out for. Soft-bodied robots, on the other hand, may be able to interact with people more safely or slip ...
