A Robust and Versatile Monocular Visual-Inertial State Estimator (⭐ 5788)
Robotics has the potential to magnify the skilled workforce of the nation by complementing our workforce with automation: teams of people and robots will be able to do more than either could alone. The economic engine of the U.S. runs on the producti...
Robotic learning in simulation environments provides a faster, more scalable, and safer training methodology than learning directly with physical robots. Also, synthesizing images in a simulation environment for collecting large-scale image data is e...
Andy does it again - Robotics got hit today. Why wasn't this announced? ...
Vision-language-action (VLA) models have recently emerged as a promising paradigm for robotic control, enabling end-to-end policies that ground natural language instructions into visuomotor actions. However, current VLAs often struggle to satisfy pre...
This paper presents a robotic mowing framework that actively enhances garden biodiversity through visual perception and adaptive decision-making. Unlike passive rewilding approaches, the proposed system uses deep feature-space analysis to identify an...
Use of robotic infrastructures can significantly increase with remote access. This would open up the possibility to use costly equipment without the need to buy them, or to simply access those assets remotely when actual travel is not possible or rec...
We build a system that enables any human to control a robot hand and arm, simply by demonstrating motions with their own hand. The robot observes the human operator via a single RGB camera and imitates their actions in real-time. Human hands and robo...
Aug 16, 2021 · An inflatable robotic hand gives amputees real-time tactile control. The smart hand is soft and elastic, weighs about half a pound, and costs a fraction of comparable prosthetics.
Jul 4, 2025 · An MIT robotic probe quickly measures photoconductance in new semiconductor materials. By dramatically increasing the speed at which scientists can characterize these materials, this …
Dec 10, 2025 · Like a growing vine, a new robotic gripper can snake around and lift a variety of objects, including a glass vase and a watermelon, offering a gentler approach than conventional gripper …
Robotic process automation (RPA) is a form of business process automation that is based on software robots (bots) or artificial intelligence (AI) agents
Feb 17, 2026 · Discover how robots can help push the realms of science and engineering with the latest robotics news, features and articles.
Nov 12, 2021 · A new robot system can reorient over 2,000 different objects, with a robotic hand facing both upwards and downwards. The work was developed at MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial …
This paper presents a comprehensive review of ground agricultural robotic systems and applications with special focus on harvesting that span research and commercial products and results, as well as their enabling technologies. The majority of litera...
Median fins of fish-like swimmers play a crucial role in linear acceleration and maneuvering processes. However, few research focused on untethered robotic fish experiments. Imitating the behaviour of real tuna, we developed a free-swimming bionic tu...
Safety stands as the primary obstacle preventing the widespread adoption of learning-based robotic systems in our daily lives. While reinforcement learning (RL) shows promise as an effective robot learning paradigm, conventional RL frameworks often m...
