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.

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Teaching a robot arm to pick up a new object used to require thousands of practice runs. Google DeepMind says it has cut that number to roughly 100, a shift that could reshape how quickly machines ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

To help solve this problem, Generalist has relied on “data hands,” a set of wearable pincers that capture micro-movements and visual information as humans perform manual tasks. Generalist now claims ...

AI thrives on data but feeding it the right data is harder than it seems. As enterprises scale their AI initiatives, they face the challenge of managing diverse data pipelines, ensuring proximity to ...
