6 天之前 · Teaching a robot its limits, to complete open-ended tasks safely. The “PRoC3S” method helps an LLM create a viable action plan by testing each step in a simulation. This strategy could eventually aid in-home robots to complete more ambiguous chore requests. December 12, 2024. Read full story →
Humanoid robot learns to waltz by mirroring people's movements
2025年1月16日 · An AI that helps humanoid robots mirror a person’s movement could allow robots to walk, dance and fight in more convincingly human ways. The most agile and fluid robotic movements, such as ...
Helping robots practice skills independently to adapt to unfamiliar ...
2024年8月8日 · The robot, which has an arm attached to its back, completed manipulation tasks after practicing for a few hours. In one demonstration, the robot learned how to securely place a ball and ring on a slanted table in roughly three hours. In another, the algorithm guided the machine to improve at sweeping toys into a bin within about two hours.

2025年1月28日 · “I have 2-year-old twin daughters, and I see them manipulating objects, carrying 10 different toys at a time, navigating across cluttered rooms with ease, and quickly adapting to new environments. Robot perception cannot yet match what a toddler can do,” Carlone says. “But we have new tools in the arsenal. And the future is bright.”
Can robots learn from machine dreams? - MIT News
2024年11月19日 · LucidSim is an AI-powered simulator that trained a robot dog to perform parkour using generated images without any real-world data. This approach, from MIT CSAIL researchers, scales up training data, helping robots transfer skills to the real world without additional fine-tuning.
Robotic pigeon reveals how birds fly without a vertical tail fin
2024年11月20日 · A pigeon-inspired robot has solved the mystery of how birds fly without the vertical tail fins that human-designed aircraft rely on. Its makers say the prototype could eventually lead to passenger ...
Helping robots zero in on the objects that matter
2024年9月30日 · A robot can then apply that neural network to spot a dog in a totally new scene. But a challenge still remains as to how to parse a scene in a useful way that is relevant for a particular task. “Typical methods will pick some arbitrary, fixed level of granularity for determining how to fuse segments of a scene into what you can consider as ...
Ball-balancing robot could assist wheelchair users
2024年5月6日 · A robot that moves around by balancing on a ball could prove a better assistant for wheelchair users than humanoid robots that walk on two legs
Teaching a robot its limits, to complete open-ended tasks safely
2024年12月12日 · PRoC3S could help a robot test out plans in an identical digital environment to find a working course of action — and more importantly, bring you a tasty snack. For future work, the researchers aim to improve results using a more advanced physics simulator and to expand to more elaborate longer-horizon tasks via more scalable data-search ...
