The robots may at times have to drop the objects they were holding and pick them up again, especially if the algorithm did not have time to calculate an optimal solution.

Modern robotic systems—in drones or autonomous vehicles, for example—use a variety of sensors, ranging from cameras and ...

Robots have amazing efficiency compared to human beings. Using algorithms that optimize work processes, robots are engineered to perform their assigned tasks to completion as efficiently as possible.

Despite decades of progress, most robots are still programmed for specific, repetitive tasks. They struggle with the unexpected and can't adapt to new situations without painstaking reprogramming. But ...

Today's industrial robots are remarkably efficient—as long as they're in a controlled environment where everything is exactly where they expect it to be.

Artificial Intelligence is at a stage where whole articles can not be written by robot. In the near future you may be reading news written by an algorithm!

(Nanowerk News) There are some tasks that traditional robots — the rigid and metallic kind — simply aren’t cut out for. Soft-bodied robots, on the other hand, may be able to interact with people more ...

Case in point: this PR2 robot. The video up top demonstrates how much more efficiently the PR2 plots trajectories through space when guided by two new motion-planning algorithms developed at MIT.

Algorithm tells robots where nearby humans are headed Date: June 12, 2019 Source: Massachusetts Institute of Technology Summary: A new tool for predicting a person's movement trajectory may help ...

Algorithm for robot teams handles moving obstacles Robotic consensus Date: April 21, 2016 Source: Massachusetts Institute of Technology Summary: Researchers will present a new, decentralized ...
