Scientists have built microscopic, light-powered robots that can think, swim, and operate independently at the scale of ...

Professor Boyuan Chen poses with some of his 3D printed robots that were designed and built through his new platform called Text2Robot that allows people to simply tell a computer what kind of robot ...

In 1982, personal computers were beige, boxy, and built for engineers. They were powerful, but uninviting. Few people knew what they were for, or why they might need one. It took more than just better ...

On Thursday, a large group of university and private industry researchers unveiled Genesis, a new open source computer simulation system that lets robots practice tasks in simulated reality 430,000 ...

In context: Teaching robots new skills has traditionally been slow and painstaking, requiring hours of step-by-step demonstrations for even the simplest tasks. If a robot encountered something ...
