Scientists achieve major robotics milestone as robot learns 1,000 different physical tasks in single day, potentially transforming manufacturing, healthcare and home robotics.

Then, with the human pilot limited to the exact set of 'senses' that the robot has, they set about doing a bunch of tasks, a lot of them in a kitchen setting. They'd spend a couple of hours doing the same task over and over from different starting points, correcting their mistakes if they made them, and marking each attempt as a success or failure.

Figure AI has developed a new humanoid robotic natural walking capability for its humanoid robots, leveraging reinforcement learning (RL) and simulation-based training. This approach enables the humanoid robots to walk with human-like gait patterns ...

From disaster zones to underground tunnels, robots are increasingly being sent where humans cannot safely go. But many of these environments lack natural or artificial light, making it difficult for robotic systems,
