Though we're not yet at the point where robots can take fully take over warehouse jobs, technology is rapidly developing toward that end goal. One big issue surrounding robots in these jobs is their ...

Robots have amazing efficiency compared to human beings. Using algorithms that optimize work processes, robots are engineered to perform their assigned tasks to completion as efficiently as possible.

DNA robots can be programmed to explore new territories, pick up cargo, sort it into categories, and then deliver each cargo type to a defined location. Conceptual illustration of two DNA robots (2).

Standing around, sorting debris from construction or demolition projects for recycling ... it probably isn't anyone's idea of a good time. Given the risks posed by sharp or heavy objects and airborne ...

Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have developed a cheetah robot, which is the first four-legged robot that can run and also jump over hurdles autonomously. Sangbae Kim, ...

Researchers have developed an algorithmic planner that helps delegate tasks to humans and robots. The planner, 'Act, Delegate or Learn' (ADL), considers a list of tasks and decides how best to assign ...

Evolution is a very slow process, due largely to the fact that nature doesn't "know" in advance which features of an animal will be beneficial. A new AI-based algorithm does know, however, allowing it ...

Researchers at MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory are working to enable “household” robots to take advantage of their mobility and examine objects from multiple perspectives ...
