Robots are picking up human instincts: sensing heat, pressure, and even the weight of objects. A student team at USC Viterbi, working with assistant professor of computer science Daniel Seita, has ...

Humanoid robot training is booming around the world. Tech companies are rushing to build the robots for a market projected to reach $38 billion within the next decade.

A groundbreaking development has come from researchers at the University of Tokyo and Waseda University in Japan. They've created a biohybrid hand, a fusion of lab-grown muscle tissue and mechanical ...

Think of actuators as the robot’s muscles —the technology that enables humanoids to move. Actuators come in three types: ...

Our hands are works of art. A rigid skeleton provides structure. Muscles adjust to different weights. Our skin, embedded with touch, pressure, and temperature sensors, provides immediate feedback on ...

As difficult as it is for a human to learn ambidexterity, it’s quite easy to program into a humanoid robot. After all, a robot doesn’t need to overcome years of muscle memory. Giving a one-handed ...

Last week, Nvidia announced several new technologies that it claimed would "supercharge humanoid robot development." Nvidia Isaac GR00T N1 was the centerpiece of the company's new offerings. The ...

Imagine for a moment that you’re in an auto factory. A robot and a human are working next to each other on the production line. The robot is busy rapidly assembling car doors while the human runs ...
