Robots are super interesting, but you probably shouldn’t start learning about them with a full-sized industrial SCARA arm or anything. Better to learn with something smaller and simpler to understand.

Foundation models have made great advances in robotics, enabling the creation of vision-language-action (VLA) models that generalize to objects, scenes, and tasks beyond their training data. However, ...

Microsoft introduces Rho-alpha, an AI that understands human commands and controls two-armed robots with near-human precision.

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

Understanding LeRobot Simulation The Genesis of LeRobot. So, what exactly is LeRobot? Think of it as a new toolkit that Hugging Face put together, aiming to make robotics a bit mo ...

Alphabet Inc.’s artificial intelligence lab is debuting two new models focused on robotics, which will help developers train robots to respond to unfamiliar scenarios — a longstanding challenge in the ...

Inside a UNC-Chapel Hill Science lab sits an autonomous robot. Imagine a machine like a Roomba, but with an arm, so it can pick up things like a dirty sock off the floor. A group of researchers from ...

The new model from Google DeepMind is a huge step toward robots that can generalize. Google DeepMind has released a new model, Gemini Robotics, that combines its best large language model with ...

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent six days a week. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. Tech giant Google and its subsidiary AI research lab, DeepMind ...

With this update, 1X Technologies' NEO leverages internet-scale video data fine-tuned on robot data to perform AI tasks.

In sci-fi tales, artificial intelligence often powers all sorts of clever, capable, and occasionally homicidal robots. A revealing limitation of today’s best AI is that, for now, it remains squarely ...
