RF Grasp is a picking robot that combines vision with radio frequency (RF) sensing to find and grasps objects, even if they're hidden from view. The technology could aid fulfillment in e-commerce ...

Researchers worldwide have been working hard to give robots the ability to better sense the environment around them. Before robots can work side-by-side with humans, they have to be able to sense ...

Michelle Starr is CNET's science editor, and she hopes to get you as enthralled with the wonders of the universe as she is. When she's not daydreaming about flying through space, she's daydreaming ...

Imagine a coffee cup sitting on a table. Now, imagine a book partially obscuring the cup. As humans, we still know what the coffee cup is even though we can't see all of it. But a robot might be ...

Vision technology is shifting from image capture to object recognition and tracking. Robots with advanced 3D capability can differentiate objects, perceive human form. How autonomous robots are ...

This article examines how cameras are deployed in robotics and how GMSL can enable scalable, performance-driven robotic ...

Researchers at Carnegie Mellon University have developed a new tactile sensing system that allows quadrupedal robots to carry loose, unsecured cylindrical objects on their backs without the cargo ...

Can a robot figure out how heavy or soft an object is without using a single camera or force sensor? According to a recent arXiv paper, the answer is yes—and the solution lies entirely in how the ...

In recent years, robots have gained artificial vision, touch, and even smell. "Researchers have been giving robots human-like perception," says MIT Associate Professor Fadel Adib. In a new paper, Adib ...
