There have been many advances in vision-language models (VLM) that can match natural language queries to objects in a visual scene. And researchers are experimenting with how these models can be ...

Researchers worldwide have been working hard to give robots the ability to better sense the environment around them. Before robots can work side-by-side with humans, they have to be able to sense ...

In recent years, robots have gained artificial vision, touch, and even smell. "Researchers have been giving robots human-like perception," says MIT Associate Professor Fadel Adib. In a new paper, Adib ...

Teaching a robot arm to pick up a new object used to require thousands of practice runs. Google DeepMind says it has cut that number to roughly 100, a shift that could reshape how quickly machines ...

At some point in your life, you've probably used a combination of sight and touch to find something hidden beneath your couch cushions. And for a while now, robotics researchers have tried to give ...

Creating robots that see the world like humans has been a challenge. While computer vision has come a long way, these systems are still easy to fool. So, why not give robots superhuman perception to ...

MIT researchers have developed a robot that can detect and grab objects that are hidden behind walls or pieces of clutter. The system, called RF-Grasp, uses radio waves to locate items beyond the line ...

(Nanowerk News) Robotic vision has come a long way, reaching a level of sophistication with applications in complex and demanding tasks, such as autonomous driving and object manipulation. However, it ...

CAMBRIDGE, MA – A human clearing junk out of an attic can often guess the contents of a box simply by picking it up and giving it a shake, without the need to see what’s inside. Researchers from MIT, ...

In a new preprint study, researchers at Carnegie Mellon University claim sound can be used to predict an object's appearance -- and its motion. The coauthors created a "sound-action-vision" data set ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Robotics research is steadily advancing towards a future where robots can be integrated into daily human life, can do mundane ...

A human clearing junk out of an attic can often guess the contents of a box simply by picking it up and giving it a shake, without the need to see what's inside. Researchers from MIT, Amazon Robotics, ...
