Scientists achieve major robotics milestone as robot learns 1,000 different physical tasks in single day, potentially transforming manufacturing, healthcare and home robotics.

For better or worse, CES 2026 is already shaping up to be a big year for humanoid robots. Chinese company Agibot showed up with two: the roughly human-sized A2 and the slightly smaller X2, both of which were displaying their surprisingly impressive dancing abilities.

Thanks to researchers at TU Wein in Vienna, the promise of housecleaning robots is one step closer. The team has developed a self-learning robot to mimic humans to complete simple tasks like cleaning washbasins. While this might sound mundane, the ...

What sets this approach apart is the training method. Instead of painstakingly programming each movement, the robot learned by watching hundreds of videos recorded from wrist-mounted cameras on da Vinci robots during actual surgical procedures. This method ...

Sergey Levine is an assistant professor at UC Berkeley whose research is focused on the thing our parents used to make such a fuss over, whenever we made stupid mistakes or should have known to avoid this or that and how on earth we could be so clueless.

THESE DROIDS HOW TO FUNCTION. RIGHT NOW, WE ARE STEPPING BACK INTO THE FUTURE WITH A RARE LOOK INSIDE THE ROBOTICS INSTITUTE AT CMU. THE WORK BEING INVENTED RIGHT HERE IN PITTSBURGH WILL HAVE A MAJOR IMPACT ON HOW THE FUTURE LOOKS. THE ROBOTICS AT CMU ARE ...

For the first time in decades of robots helping perform surgeries, researchers have trained the technology to learn from videos and self-correct, according to a Dec. 30 report from The Washington Post. A team of researchers from Johns Hopkins University in ...

From disaster zones to underground tunnels, robots are increasingly being sent where humans cannot safely go. But many of these environments lack natural or artificial light, making it difficult for robotic systems,
