Object avoidance is a tough nut to crack on robot vacuums, but Narwal's new Flow 2 promises it has the best yet with a mix of ...

Robots and autonomous vehicles can use 3D point clouds from LiDAR sensors and camera images to perform 3D object detection. However, current techniques that combine both types of data struggle to ...

The newer of the two is the Roomba j7+, which came out at the end of last year. It's technically not as powerful as the s9+, but it has new AI-driven computer vision technology that helps it detect ...

CAMBRIDGE, MA – A human clearing junk out of an attic can often guess the contents of a box simply by picking it up and giving it a shake, without the need to see what’s inside. Researchers from MIT, ...

XELA Robotics ( a specialist in advanced 3D tactile sensors, has succeeded in providing a human sense of touch for humanoid ...

Robot vacuums have steadily improved their cleaning performance and object avoidance over the years, but during our testing at CNET Labs, we discovered an odd trade-off.

Scientists at Tarim University of China have proposed a way to address the challenging problem of pose recognition for photovoltaic panel cleaning robots. Their novel solution is based on a low power ...

Imagine a coffee cup sitting on a table. Now, imagine a book partially obscuring the cup. As humans, we still know what the coffee cup is even though we can't see all of it. But a robot might be ...

Mammotion is expanding its robotic lawn mower lineup for 2026, introducing three new models at CES that aim to simplify ...

Researchers have compiled a dataset that captures the detailed behavior of a robotic system physically pushing hundreds of different objects. Using the dataset -- the largest and most diverse of its ...

Humans can detect buried objects without touching them, sensing faint pressure ripples in sand. Scientists are calling this ...
