Foundation models have made great advances in robotics, enabling the creation of vision-language-action (VLA) models that generalize to objects, scenes, and tasks beyond their training data. However, ...

Robots are super interesting, but you probably shouldn’t start learning about them with a full-sized industrial SCARA arm or anything. Better to learn with something smaller and simpler to understand.

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 ...

The new model from Google DeepMind is a huge step toward robots that can generalize. Google DeepMind has released a new model, Gemini Robotics, that combines its best large language model with ...

In an era where artificial intelligence and robotics are rapidly converging, Hugging Face’s latest breakthrough is set to democratize access to advanced robotics technology. The company has introduced ...

We sometimes call chatbots like Gemini and ChatGPT “robots,” but generative AI is also playing a growing role in real, physical robots. After announcing Gemini Robotics earlier this year, Google ...

Alibaba's new AI model called RynnBrain is focused on powering robots. One video released by Alibaba's DAMO Academy shows a robot identifying fruit and putting it in a basket. Nvidia and Google are ...

Hugging Face and Physical Intelligence have quietly launched Pi0 (Pi-Zero) this week, the first foundational model for robots that translates natural language commands directly into physical actions. ...

To help solve this problem, Generalist has relied on “data hands,” a set of wearable pincers that capture micro-movements and visual information as humans perform manual tasks. Generalist now claims ...

As robotics has advanced, industry has steadily adopted more robots to automate many kinds of grunt work. More than 540,000 new industrial robots were installed worldwide in 2023, taking the number of ...
