TUM develops AI-powered diving robot to detect and remove litter from the ocean floor in the EU SEACLEAR project.

Sonair’s patented ultrasound technology provides precise 3D perception at a fraction of LiDAR’s cost. After testing with over ...

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 ...

Growing up, we learn to push just hard enough to move a box and to avoid touching a hot pan with our bare hands. Now, a robot ...

CAMBRIDGE, MA – A human clearing junk out of an attic can often guess the contents of a box simply by picking it up and giving it a shake, without the need to see what’s inside. Researchers from MIT, ...

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 ...

To help humans to complete everyday manual tasks, robots should be able to reliably manipulate everyday objects that vary in shape, texture and size. Many conventional approaches to enable robotic ...

To effectively tackle a variety of real-world tasks, robots should be able to reliably grasp objects of different shapes, textures and sizes, without dropping them in undesired locations. Conventional ...

Brain tumors could soon be detected by robots, according to a new study. Artificial intelligence (AI) models can be trained to distinguish tumors from healthy tissue, say scientists. AI models can ...

Picking up a glass or wiping a transparent surface is really confusing for most robots. The most common robot found in homes today is probably a robot vacuum, but in the future we could see robots in ...
