The Columbia University researchers achieved the feat by allowing their robot, EMO, to study itself in a mirror. It learned ...
A robot observes its reflection in a mirror, learning its own morphology and kinematics for autonomous self-simulation. The process highlights the intersection of vision-based learning and robotics, ...
This spinning-mass principle drives several robots in development. One is a remote-controlled wheel that jumps when the internal mass rotates fast enough to lift it off the ground. Unlike spring-based ...
Robots waste power & depend on control to move. A joint design shifts control into the structure, helping robots walk & grip ...
Science fiction promised us humanoids. Do we even want them?
Robots that move, sense and even coordinate with one another usually bring to mind tangled wires, circuit boards and humming motors. In a new study from the University of Oxford, all of that ...
Over the next decades, robots are expected to make their way into a growing number of households, public spaces, and ...
The symmetrical design and flexible fingers mean that the robot can transport objects on either side of its body. For humans, ...
(Nanowerk News) By watching their own motions with a camera, robots can teach themselves about the structure of their own bodies and how they move, a new study from researchers at Columbia Engineering ...
