Rules-based automation (RBA) and learning are two training mechanisms in robotics. While there are many others, these are two ...

A career in robotics is one of the most coveted things for those interested in engineering and automation. Presently, there is an explosion in the number of companies seeking innovative robotics ...

From manufacturing to power systems to 3D printing, Michigan Technological University researchers are leading the path to new robotics and mechanics advances. At Michigan Tech, experts from mechanical ...

In a step toward robots that can learn on the fly like humans do, a new approach expands training data sets for robots that work with soft objects like ropes and fabrics, or in cluttered environments.

For that reason, the hardest and perhaps the most promising work of deep learning may lie in the realm of robotics, where the real world introduces constraints that cannot be fully anticipated. That ...

A new study from researchers at the University of Michigan shows that feeding a robot fabricated or augmented data when no data sets were available increases the ability of that robot’s performance by ...

A humanoid robot with a deliberately unsettling face has shown a new way machines can learn the mechanics of speech, using a mirror and online video rather than human instruction. The system, known as ...
