Stanford researchers have developed an innovative computer vision model that recognizes the real-world functions of objects, ...

The robot arm can catch objects such as a ball, bottle or tennis racket. There are some things a robot can't do, but catching a flying object is no longer one of them. With its four-fingered, ...

While some researchers attempt to build artificial intelligences (AI) that can solve problems that humans might not have even thought of yet, others are focused on creating ones that do something most ...

The ability to create tools from everyday objects requires creativity, abstract thinking, and problem-solving. As such, that complex ability has been used emblematically to differentiate so-called ...

Researchers have loaded a robot with AI that lets it scan an object and determine how best to grab it. [Narrator] Here's to all you claw machine players out there. It's not that the robotic claws aren ...

Folks blessed with a soft touch seem to have no problem getting to grips with delicate objects, but it can be a tough ask for robots. Researchers at the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering ...

Stacking an object on top of another object is a straightforward task for most people. But even the most complex robots struggle to handle more than one such task at a time. Stacking requires a range ...

A control system for deformable robot-fingertips was developed for grasping and releasing objects. Previously developed robot fingertips with high friction texture can stably grasp a paper box, a soft ...
