Mobile robots must continuously estimate their position to navigate autonomously. However, satellite-based navigation systems are not always reliable ...

A new safety-check technique can prove with 100 percent accuracy that a planned robot motion will not result in a collision. The method can generate a proof in seconds and does so in a way that can be ...

This paper is about how robots (in particular, household robots like mobile manipulators) can autonomously acquire skills via ...

Neurotic robots are a staple of science fiction. Researchers who study how people react to robot personalities, however, haven't focused on this much — though one study recently found that neurotic ...

A machine-learning algorithm to study the behavior of proteins within cells and to predict their ability to trigger neurodegenerative diseases such as Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), Parkinson's, ...

A robot, trained for the first time by watching videos of seasoned surgeons, executed the same surgical procedures as skillfully as the human doctors. The successful use of imitation learning to train ...

A University of Chicago study suggests robots could offer a new kind of support to help kids eliminate anxiety about reading out loud. Macy is a writer on the AI Team. She covers how AI is changing ...
