A new study suggests humans can sense hidden objects without touching them, by detecting faint movements in sand. This unexpected form of “remote touch” challenges traditional ideas about how the ...

A new sensing system called SonicBoom could help agricultural robots navigate cluttered environments where visual sensors struggle. Developed by researchers at Carnegie Mellon University, SonicBoom ...

Researchers created fully autonomous robots smaller than a grain of salt Robots swim using electrical fields to manipulate ions in the surrounding fluid The propulsion system allows coordinated ...

Robotiq says it has combined adaptive gripping with high-frequency tactile sensing, enabling robots to generalize across objects.

Scientists create smallest programmable robots ever - smaller than salt grains, these breakthrough microscopic machines could ...

Taylor worked with AP from 2018 to 2025, most recently as Google Editor. Amazon unveiled Vulcan, a warehouse robot with 'a sense of touch,' at an event in Germany. Vulcan adds/removes items from pods ...

Amazon has deployed over 750,000 robots to its fulfillment centers over the last decade or so, but now there's a new, shall we say, more sensitive addition. The company has announced Vulcan, its first ...

Robots that move, sense and even coordinate with one another usually bring to mind tangled wires, circuit boards and humming motors. In a new study from the University of Oxford, all of that ...

Robots excel at many things, but having a good sense of touch is not among them. Whether dropping items or pinching them too tightly, which crushes the object, many robots struggle with these basic ...

Sergey Levine is an assistant professor at UC Berkeley whose research is focused on the thing our parents used to make such a fuss over, whenever we made stupid mistakes or should have known to avoid ...
