SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) -- New virtual reality-controlled fighting humanoid robots faced off at a boxing gym in San Francisco Tuesday night. It was a preview fight to a larger robot battle being held ...

Yesterday we showed you how Korean researchers are using motion capture suits to control robotic avatars. Today we have a project from students at University College London using an Xbox Kinect to ...

Telepresence isn’t always about Star Wars-style holograms. Sometimes it’s about transporting a remote individual’s actions and expressions to another place using a bulky, VR-driven robot, as ...

Researchers at UC San Francisco have achieved a remarkable breakthrough in brain-computer interface (BCI) technology, enabling individuals with paralysis to control robotic devices through thought ...

Last year at CES French startup Pollen Robotics debuted Reachy, an open-source humanoid robot (the top half of one at least) capable of performing a wide variety of tasks — from traditional R&D to ...

Two researchers at UC Berkeley and ETH Zurich have harnessed the power of OpenAI’s GPT-4o large language model to teach cheap robot arms to clean up spills. It’s a clever demonstration of how AI ...

The robot's large torso is mounted to a hydraulic crane arm, which rides around the rail system on a specially braced rail car, putting down stabilizing legs when it's time to get to work. A human ...

Traditionally, robot arms have been controlled either by joysticks, buttons, or very carefully programmed routines. However, for [Narongporn Laosrisin’s] homebrew build, they decided to go with ...

Elon Musk’s brain implant company, Neuralink, announced on Tuesday that it is launching a study to test its implant for a new use: allowing a person to control a robotic arm using just their thoughts.

Somehow, walking robots at our level never really seem to deliver on the promise that should be delivered by all those legs. Articulation using hobby servos is simple enough to achieve, but cumbersome ...
