The integration of robotics into automatic assembly procedures is highly valuable but has met with issues adapting to high-mix, low-volume manufacturing. Robotic learning which enables robots to acquire assembly skills through demonstrations, not scripted processes, offers a potential resolution to this problem. However, teaching robots to perform assembly tasks from raw sensor data presents a…

Google's DeepMind researchers have made a remarkable achievement in robotics by their successful training of humanoid robots to play soccer without manual programming. The research, detailed in a study published in Science Robotics, used deep reinforcement learning (RL) to teach commercially available 20-inch tall Robotis OP3 robots intricate movement and gameplay skills. Through trial and…
Hydrogen, one of the most abundant elements in the Universe, mainly exists alongside other elements. However, the discovery of naturally occurring underground pockets of pure hydrogen is increasingly attracting attention as an unlimited source of carbon-free energy. In fact, the US Department of Energy recently awarded $20 million in research grants to 18 teams to…
Google DeepMind's Genie is a unique generative model capable of translating plain images or text prompts into dynamic, interactive worlds. Trained on over 200,000 hours of in-game video footage, Genie captures and generates the physics, aesthetics, and dynamics of multiple environments and objects. The completed model, documented in a research paper, houses over 11 billion…
Robots are becoming increasingly adept at handling complex household tasks, from cleaning messes to serving meals. However, their ability to handle unexpected disturbances or difficulties during these tasks has been a challenge. Common scenarios like a nudge or a slight mistake that deviates the robot from its expected path can cause the robot to restart…
NVIDIA recently revealed Project GR00T, an innovative model for humanoid robots, designed to reshape the way robots comprehend and respond to their surrounding environment. The development lays a significant emphasis on natural language processing and mirroring human movements, equipping robots with unparalleled levels of coordination, dexterity, and adaptability. The underlying technology enabling the advancement is…
NVIDIA has unveiled Project GR00T, a cutting-edge foundation model for humanoid robots, in its bid to shape a future where robots form an integral part of day-to-day life. Together with the commitment to the Isaac Robotics Platform and the Robot Operating System (ROS), GR00T represents a major leap in robotic development and AI applications. The…
As you walk down a buzzing city street, the hum of a passing object draws your attention. It's a small, automated delivery robot navigating quickly and nimbly among pedestrians and urban obstacles. It's not a scene from a science fiction film, but a demonstration of the innovative technology called Generalizable Neural Feature Fields (GeFF). This…
In the crowded heart of a bustling city, you might encounter a remarkable phenomenon: a knee-high delivery robot coherently navigating pedestrian-filled streets. This isn't science fiction. The robot's exceptional capabilities are driven by a groundbreaking technology called Generalizable Neural Feature Fields, or GeFF.
GeFF represents a potential paradigm shift in how robots interact with their environments.…
