Engineers have come up with a new way to teach robots to know when they don't know. The technique involves quantifying the fuzziness of human language and using that measurement to tell robots when to ...

Engineers at Princeton University and Google have come up with a new way to teach robots to know when they don’t know and ask for clarification from a human. Modern robots know how to sense their ...

Nick Morales used his final project in the MSR program to investigate a form of robotics that enables machines to predict human intent to move and position large, heavy objects. Anyone who has ever ...

How do people like to interact with robots when navigating a crowded environment? And what algorithms should roboticists use to program robots to interact with humans? These are the questions that a ...

Concepts of Robot Programming introduces the methods that engineers use to train robots to perform manufacturing tasks and the ideas behind those methods. Programming methods include online ...

Plenty of companies have demoed home robots, but few, if any, have actually been released. The truth is that even the most advanced robots aren't very good at interacting with objects and environments ...

As an electrical engineering student in the 1980s and ‘90s, Carlotta Berry had two experiences that helped shape her future as an educator. First, while she studied robots, she wasn’t allowed to ...

Students enrolled in Introduction to Robotics at Berea College have learned to create and program their very own robots. On Tuesday, the students visited the Child Development Lab (CDL) at Berea ...

Katie Hughes looks back on her capstone project and the challenges she faced helping a robot dog move through a group without any collisions. Navigating through crowds is a tricky problem for robots.
