When Elon Musk talks about robotics, he rarely hides the ambition behind the dream. Tesla's Optimus is pitched as an ...

Scientists create self-repairing robotic skin with pain detection and modular magnetic patches. The neuromorphic e-skin ...

Researchers in Japan have developed an adaptive motion reproduction system that allows robots to generate human-like ...

Robot skin that senses touch and pain — and triggers instant reflexes — makes robots more like humans. It probably also makes ...

Almost half of our attention during face-to-face conversation focuses on lip motion. Yet, robots still struggle to move their ...

To match the lip movements with speech, they designed a "learning pipeline" to collect visual data from lip movements. An AI model uses this data for training, then generates reference points for ...

Imagine for a moment that you’re in an auto factory. A robot and a human are working next to each other on the production line. The robot is busy rapidly assembling car doors while the human runs ...

A new artificial skin unveiled at CES 2026 could give robots human-like sensitivity, helping machines better understand ...

Social by nature, humans interact in multiple ways—through voice, vision and touch. Reflecting these humanistic qualities, robotic capabilities are improving, and as such, human-robot interaction will ...

At ETH Zurich's Robotic Systems Lab, engineers have created ANYmal-D, a four-legged robot that can play badminton with people. This project brings together robotics, artificial intelligence and sports ...

While not 100% hands-free, it's miles ahead of where robot vacuums were only a few years ago.
