Nitin J. Sanket, a professor at WPI, has developed small flying robots with his team that fit in the palm of a hand and use ...

Ground-based robots are typically used for missions where direct human involvement is too expensive, too dangerous, or just ineffective. Often, the robots must be able to operate autonomously, using ...

Robot navigation and human-robot interaction are rapidly evolving fields that focus on how robots can effectively and safely navigate environments shared with humans. As robots become more integrated ...

Michigan Technological University's Robotics and Remote Sensing Lab brought home an unprecedented win in the international Benchmark Autonomous Robot Navigation Challenge. Their victory could set a ...

Humans have never made great inspectors. They can be inconsistent and inefficient. Robots, on the other hand, are emerging as ...

QUT robotics researchers have developed a new robot navigation system that mimics neural processes of the human brain and uses less than 10 per cent of the energy required by traditional systems. In a ...

Researchers have solved the complex "peg-in-hole" assembly challenge with a deep reinforcement learning system.
