Deformable object manipulation in robotics is an increasingly critical research area, addressing the challenge of handling materials that do not maintain a fixed shape under manipulation. Unlike rigid ...

Despite rapid robotic automation advancements, most systems struggle to adapt their pre-trained movements to dynamic ...

In laboratories from Brazil to Munich, researchers are learning to grab matter with sound alone, sculpting ultrasonic waves ...

Fig. 1(a) illustrates a typical robotic manipulation system. It features a robotic arm equipped with sensors like cameras and end-effectors such as grippers, enabling it to manipulate a wide range of ...

Our current understanding of manipulation is based on primate hands, resulting in a detailed but narrow perspective of ways to handle objects. Although most other animals lack hands, they are still ...

Sanctuary AI's Phoenix robot is certainly an impressive beast, with hydraulically actuated hands that are incredibly dextrous. Well, those hands have recently become even more useful, as each one is ...

If you thought fire-bending was impossible, think again. The Jumbo Jugglers is a student group dedicated to providing an outlet for people of any background to learn the skills of object manipulation, ...

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 ...

Forward-looking: Adobe has gone all-in on AI-based image generation and editing, introducing AI tools across its software stack and perhaps most impressively, doing so in a very timely manner. Ahead ...
