Nvidia’s founder and CEO Jensen Huang speaks during the annual Nvidia GPU Technology Conference JOSH EDELSON/AFP via Getty Images Humanoid robots have just begun stepping into Amazon warehouses and Mercedes-Benz automotive factories. Now, they are being recruited for an even more ambitious effort – the creation of artificial general intelligence …

A four-legged robot can handle real-world obstacles that require scrambling up and down or leaping sizeable gaps. AI training lets it adapt to new terrain it hasn’t seen before Source link

Snails have an unusual way of walking that has now been replicated in a robot Zuzha/Shutterstock A mucus-excreting robot with a single large foot can effectively imitate the way snails crawl over surfaces – even steeply inclined ones. “I always say that snails are like Michael Jackson to me. You …

A machine-learning model worked out how to keep this robot stable on three legs while it uses one leg to open doors Philip Arm, Mayank Mittal, Hendrik Kolvenbach, and Marco Hutter/Robotic Systems Lab A robot dog can use a leg to open doors, press buttons and pick up rucksacks while …

A wheeled robot set loose on a college campus has figured out how to open all kinds of doors and drawers while rolling around in the real world. The robot adapted to new challenges on its own – paving the way for machines capable of independently interacting with physical objects. …

A tiny, bipedal robot that combines muscle tissue with artificial materials can walk and turn by contracting its muscles. While biohybrid robots that crawl and swim have been built before with lab-grown muscle, this is the first such bipedal robot that can pivot and make sharp turns. It does this …

  iCub3 is a humanoid avatar that people can embody remotely Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia A humanoid robot can relay video and touch sensations to a person wearing haptic feedback gloves and a virtual reality (VR) headset hundreds of kilometres away, offering a way for people to attend events without …

A robot that can grow around trees or rocks like a vine could be used to make buildings or measure pollution in hard-to-reach natural environments. Vine-like robots aren’t new, but they are often designed to rely on just a single sense to grow upwards, such as heat or light, which …

The robotic arm gripping a seashell Xun Zhao An artificial skin is helping a robot to recognise the difference between picking up inanimate objects and living sea creatures such as starfish and shellfish. That sense of touch could prove useful in cleaning up the ocean, doing underwater exploration or even …
