Abstract: Interactive segmentation, a key branch of human-robot interaction (HRI), bridges human commands to object segmentation, enabling effective robot-scene interaction. However, existing ...

After testing 24 robot vacuums at CNET Labs to see how well they clean and avoid obstacles, we discovered an unusual relationship. Ajay has worked in tech journalism for over a decade as a reporter, ...

Forget Thing T. Thing from The Addams Family (yes, that's the full name); modern science has officially brought us a detachable robot hand that can actually skitter across the floor, grab you a beer, ...

Like something out of the Addams Family, scientists have created a detachable robotic hand that can crawl and grab objects. The design enables tasks such as retrieving objects beyond normal reach and ...

The "Dataset" folder contains the cube and cylinder data divided per class for 40 and 80 samples extracted from the grasp peaks. For each kind of objects we collected five classes, i.e. five hardness ...

I always tell people that the best thing I’ve ever tested for my job here on the WIRED Reviews team is my automatic litter box from Litter-Robot. I recommend every cat owner invest in an automatic ...

Object avoidance is a tough nut to crack on robot vacuums, but Narwal's new Flow 2 promises it has the best yet with a mix of on-board processing and AI cloud computing. Ajay has worked in tech ...

Google DeepMind is teaming up with Boston Dynamics to give its humanoid robots the intelligence required to navigate unfamiliar environments and identify and manipulate objects—precisely the kinds of ...

Engineers at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and Stanford University have created a robotic gripper capable of snaking around and lifting a variety of objects, such as a glass vase and a ...

MIT scientists working with Google DeepMind researchers have developed an AI-driven robot that can ‘turn ideas into physical objects’ based on simple text descriptions. The researchers say their robot ...

Computer-aided design (CAD) systems are tried-and-true tools used to design many of the physical objects we use each day. But CAD software requires extensive expertise to master, and many tools ...
