Sergey Levine is an assistant professor at UC Berkeley whose research is focused on the thing our parents used to make such a fuss over, whenever we made stupid mistakes or should have known to avoid ...
The vision of robots as true partners in our daily work has remained just that—a vision. While we’ve seen an explosion of humanoid and semi-humanoid designs recently, these new platforms face a ...
It’s fairly easy for people to learn from other people – we’ve been doing it for around 300,000 years – because we can observe, copy, and modify what they’re doing. It’s less easy for us to learn from ...

In this blog, Everest Group’s Peter Bendor-Samuel and Richard Sear combine their perspectives from years of advising enterprises and analyzing emerging technologies. Together, they explore how ...
As industrial robots begin learning from simulations, digital twins and even one another, automation on the factory floor is entering a new phase. Instead of relying solely on preprogrammed ...
A team of St. Vrain Valley high schoolers who use underwater robots to help Longmont monitor water quality are getting extra help this summer from middle school students attending a “Creative ...
What makes a robot truly intelligent? Is it the ability to solve complex equations in milliseconds or something more human-like—such as recognizing a misplaced object in a cluttered room or adapting ...
Imagine a world where your morning coffee is brewed by a robot that remembers your exact preferences, your home is cleaned by a machine with human-like dexterity, and factories are staffed by tireless ...
A select group of 20 fifth graders participated in Marie Curie Institute’s Robotics Club this winter. The club met over a 10 week period to learn about robots, to build a robot, and to program their ...
In a groundbreaking new study, researchers have developed an electronic skin that allows humanoid robots to distinguish everyday touch from damaging force. That ability, once reserved for living ...
