Foundation models have made great advances in robotics, enabling the creation of vision-language-action (VLA) models that generalize to objects, scenes, and tasks beyond their training data. However, ...

Alphabet Inc.’s artificial intelligence lab is debuting two new models focused on robotics, which will help developers train robots to respond to unfamiliar scenarios — a longstanding challenge in the ...

Robots are super interesting, but you probably shouldn’t start learning about them with a full-sized industrial SCARA arm or anything. Better to learn with something smaller and simpler to understand.

In sci-fi tales, artificial intelligence often powers all sorts of clever, capable, and occasionally homicidal robots. A revealing limitation of today’s best AI is that, for now, it remains squarely ...

Google DeepMind introduced Gemini Robotics On-Device, a vision-language-action (VLA) foundation model designed to run locally on robot hardware. The model features low-latency inference and can be ...

The new model from Google DeepMind is a huge step toward robots that can generalize. Google DeepMind has released a new model, Gemini Robotics, that combines its best large language model with ...

We sometimes call chatbots like Gemini and ChatGPT “robots,” but generative AI is also playing a growing role in real, physical robots. After announcing Gemini Robotics earlier this year, Google ...

As robotics has advanced, industry has steadily adopted more robots to automate many kinds of grunt work. More than 540,000 new industrial robots were installed worldwide in 2023, taking the number of ...

After 13 years of deploying robots into its warehouses, Amazon reached a new milestone. The tech behemoth now has 1 million robots in its warehouses, the company announced Monday. This one millionth ...
