Current AIs are very accurate but inflexible at image recognition. Exactly why this is remains a mystery. Researchers have developed a method called ‘Raw Zero-Shot’ to assess how neural networks handle elements unknown to them. The results have the potential…

In a step toward robots that can learn on the fly like humans do, a new approach expands training data sets for robots that work with soft objects like ropes and fabrics, or in cluttered environments. Read More

FuseBot is a new robotic system that fuses visual information and radio-frequency signals to efficiently find hidden items buried under a pile of objects, whether or not the targeted item has an RFID tag. Read More

Computer scientists develop a method that allows humans to help complex robots build efficient solutions to ‘see’ their environments and carry out tasks. Read More

Researchers studied the effect of the ‘attitudes’ of a semi-autonomous telepresence robot on its human operator. They found that when a person controlled only a part of the body of a semi-autonomous robot, its expressed opinions affected him or her.…

Engineers devised a recipe for improving any autonomous robotic system. Their optimization code can automatically identify how and where to tweak a system to improve a robot’s performance. Read More
