EPFL researchers have developed a customizable soft robotic system that uses compressed air to produce shape changes, vibrations, and other haptic, or tactile, feedback. The device holds promise for ...

For International Women's Day, Dr. Maja Matarić and Dr. Tania Morimoto discussed their current robotics research and student development.

When not engaged with robotics or programming workshops, attendees could take tours of Penn’s GRASP Robotics Lab. Visitors could even high-five a humanoid PR 2 robot in the Haptic Lab. The entrance ...

What does it actually take to teach a humanoid robot to act human? Inside Tesla’s robotics operation, the answer looks less like science fiction than repetitive labor. Workers in a glass-walled lab ...

Robots are able to conduct a lot of tasks more efficiently than their human counterparts, but activities that require fine motor skill were once out of grasp - but researchers are moving in the right ...

Robots that can sense and act through touch? That is what Aayush Kulkarni, an undergraduate visiting student, taught a robot to do during his internship at RIT. Kulkarni is participating in the ...

Manipulation and sensing have long been considered two key pillars for unlocking robotics’ potential. There’s a fair bit of overlap between the two, of course. As grippers have become a fundamental ...

How does a robotic arm or a prosthetic hand learn a complex task like grasping and rotating a ball? Researchers address the classic 'nature versus nurture' question. The research demonstrates that the ...

Artificial intelligence is entering our lives in many ways – on our smartphones, in our homes, in our cars. These systems can help people make appointments, drive and even diagnose illnesses. But as ...
