A Norwegian research team built a robot that can slice and serve salmon sashimi using three arms, AI training, and a tactile sensor that knows when the blade hits the board.
MIT researchers have developed an AI memory system that lets robots remember objects, locations, and details from real-world environments over time.
The next humanoid robot might not have a head. It might not have legs. It might even sit on a wheeled base and fold down like a deck chair. But, as Genesis AI puts it, “humanoid robots don’t need to look human.” That explains the look of Eno, the new robot from the French startup […]
Amazon has announced a new version of its fully autonomous warehouse robot, Proteus, that will interact using language instead of code. The expanded capabilities come as part of a growing pivot toward automation as the e-commerce giant replaces its human workers with robots. Amazon says the AI-powered upgrade means its human employees can assign the […]
This week, an AI training startup called Shift said it would clean New Yorkers’ homes for free. It has plans to expand into other cities as well, including London, and looking around my flat, I get the appeal. But there’s a catch. There’s always a catch. In exchange for the cleaning, Shift wants footage of […]
AI training startup Shift wants to clean your home for free. The catch – because, despite what its website says, there’s always a catch – is that it will record cleaners as they scrub, vacuum, dust, tidy, and wash, and use that footage to train robots. Shift announced the unusual offer on social media on […]
In microgravity, legs do not do much. Orbit Robotics’ Helios replaces them with four arms built for movement and station work.
Welcome! I’m The Verge’s smart home reviewer, and I’m hosting an exclusive subscriber AMA today at 10 AM PT / 1 PM ET. I test a lot of connected gadgets for my job, but the dominant device in my home – by both number and square footage covered – is the robot vacuum. At any […]
