Potentially, any soft object could become a robot with the skin slipped around it: a piece of foam tube, a ball, or even a stuffed animal.

Robots and autonomous vehicles can use 3D point clouds from LiDAR sensors and camera images to perform 3D object detection. However, current techniques that combine both types of data struggle to ...

As the robot lifts an object, the researchers' system gathers signals from the robot's joint encoders, which are sensors that detect the rotational position and speed of its joints during movement.

Robots in warehouses and even around our houses struggle to identify and pick up objects if they are too close together, or if a space is cluttered. This is because robots lack what psychologists ...

Robots can then extrapolate, say, the physics model of an Omnipush object with uneven mass distribution to any real-world object with similar uneven weight distributions.

The line debuted at the end of 2021 and the robot vacuums come with new AI-driven computer vision technology that helps them better detect objects and clean around them.

As the robot lifts an object, the researchers’ system gathers signals from the robot’s joint encoders, which are sensors that detect the rotational position and speed of its joints during ...
