Electronic skins and machine learning for intelligent soft robots

Soft robots have garnered interest for real-world applications because of their intrinsic safety embedded at the material level. These robots use deformable materials capable of shape and ...

Sensors and Machine Learning Are Giving Robots a Sixth Sense

Robots with chemical sensors could be highly accurate in smell and taste, but building in a robot’s sense of itself and its body is far more difficult.

Robot Learning

Focus is on both applied and theoretical issues in robotics and automation. Robotics is here defined to include intelligent machines and systems; whereas automation includes the use of ...

MIT's Jenga-playing robot might have the magic touch for manufacturing

​​Anyone who has played a game of Jenga will know the delicate touch required to keep the tower of wooden blocks from crashing down, and it’s not the kind of finesse you’d associate with a ...

Watching this soft robotic hand move is strangely hypnotic

Robotic technology had come a long way in the past couple of decades, with more intelligent machines capable of superhuman feats that were once thought impossible. Robots are great at doing ...

This robot can probably beat you at Jenga—thanks to its understanding of the world

Industrial machines could be trained to be less clumsy if we gave them a sense of touch and a better sense of real-world physics.

RE2 Robotics Awarded $3M to Develop Underwater Robotic Hand for U.S. Navy

The Office of Naval Research provided the funding for the development of an underwater robotic hand equipped with a variety of sensors.

Prerequisites for an Artificial Self

Traditionally investigated in philosophy, body ownership and agency—two main components of the minimal self—have recently gained attention from other disciplines, such as brain, cognitive ...

Optical lace could make a ‘nervous system’ for robots

New fibrous material could allow robots to feel touch and sense how they interact with their environment

MIT robot sorts recycling and trash by touch

The RoCycle system relies solely on sensors and soft robotics to identify and sort glass, plastic, and metal through touch alone.

Artificial and augmented sensing for humans and humanoids

The NeuroEng School aims to introduce computational and technological methods to interact with the brain. Interaction is a key issue for understanding the physiological basis of neuronal ...

The soft touch of intelligent, robotic systems

A new, flexible, and self-powered sensor made by magnetoelectric materials can convert mechanical stimuli to electrical signals for robots with a

Success Story: Deep Learning Brings Touch to Robots

Deep learning algorithms that enable touch as well as vision can create tremendous opportunities for robotics apps.
