New AI model helps robots learn unseen tasks with less training
Teaching a robot arm to pick up a new object used to require thousands of practice runs. Google DeepMind says it has cut that number to roughly 100, a shift that could reshape how quickly machines adapt in warehouses,
Robots such as Boston Dynamics’ four-legged Spot can now accurately read analog thermometers and pressure gauges while roaming around factories and warehouses. Those improvements come courtesy of Google DeepMind’s newest robotic AI model that aims to enhance robotic capabilities for ‘embodied reasoning’ when interacting with physical environments.
The new Google Gemini Robotics AI model gives robots improved spatial reasoning and task planning abilities for industrial applications.
When researchers asked more than 1,000 Americans to assign colors to robots according to the robot’s job, they found that biases familiar from the human workplace resurfaced—and that the people
In 2026, China’s Lunar New Year celebrations are taking on a strikingly futuristic edge: humanoid robots are becoming headline performers in public showcases, holiday galas, city light festivals, and mall activations. What used to be a season defined by ...
In a groundbreaking new study, researchers have developed an electronic skin that allows humanoid robots to distinguish everyday touch from damaging force. That ability, once reserved for living nervous systems, could reshape how robots interact with the ...
Listen to the audio edition here: Inside a lab in the University of Pennsylvania’s Levine Hall are robots so tiny they can balance on a single ridge on a human fingerprint. At 200 by 300 by 50 micrometers, they’re the smallest, fully autonomous robots ...
