As workplace robots become more common in retail stores, hospitals, and warehouses, their human coworkers need to know how to use and reprogram them. Yet most people lack that kind of highly technical ...

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 ...

[Benjie Holson] is an experienced roboticist and wrote an interesting article published on IEEE Spectrum about how the idea most people have of non-roboticists is a myth, and efforts to target this ...

Recently, our PreK through Grade 12 independent school has been working to include more computer science opportunities across all grade levels. These classes are a distinguishing factor of a Sewickley ...

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 ...

A discovery of how to build little blocks out of DNA and get them to stick to lipids has implications for biosensing and mRNA vaccines. Scientists have worked out how to best get DNA to communicate ...

Humanoid robots are already dancing, backflipping, and scaring the heck out of people all over the world. But, they still need a lot of work. Delicate motor skills often represent a challenge that ...

When we think back on our kindergarten days, most of us remember the uncomplicated things like picture books, recess, and nap time. But now, a new tech challenge is bringing 21st century skills to ...

Tim Jin (MSR '21) reflects on his independent project for Northwestern Engineering's Master of Science in Robotics (MSR) program and what he learned from trying to make a robot emulate a chameleon. As ...

Anthropic tested how its AI model Claude could help non-experts operate a robot dog during an internal trial called Project Fetch. The company split eight researchers with no robotics background into ...
