A new technique enables an AI agent to be guided by data crowdsourced asynchronously from nonexpert human users as it learns to complete a task through reinforcement learning. The method trains the ...

Learning may well be the most exciting frontier in the whole of robotics. The field itself dates back decades. The 80s, for instance, brought exciting breakthroughs in learning by demonstration, but a ...

A new machine-learning technique can efficiently learn to control a robot, leading to better performance with fewer data. Researchers from MIT and Stanford University have devised a new ...

2024 is going to be a huge year for the cross-section of generative AI/large foundational models and robotics. There’s a lot of excitement swirling around the potential for various applications, ...

Rules-based automation (RBA) and learning are two training mechanisms in robotics. While there are many others, these are two ...

Foundational Concepts in Programming Industrial Robots. Before you can get a robot to do anything useful, you need to understand how it works and the math behind its movements. It ...
