Using language to give robots a better grasp of an open-ended world
Feature Fields for Robotic Manipulation (F3RM) enables robots to interpret open-ended text prompts using natural language, helping the machines manipulate unfamiliar objects. The system’s 3D feature fields could be helpful […]

Do humans get lazier when robots help with tasks?
Image/Shutterstock.com By Angharad Brewer Gillham, Frontiers science writer ‘Social loafing’ is a phenomenon which happens when members of a team start to put less effort in because they know others […]
Goal representations for instruction following
By Andre He, Vivek Myers A longstanding goal of the field of robot learning has been to create generalist agents that can perform tasks for humans. Natural language has the […]
New technique helps robots pack objects into a tight space
MIT researchers are using generative AI models to help robots more efficiently solve complex object manipulation problems, such as packing a box with different objects. Image: courtesy of the researchers. […]
Finger-shaped sensor enables more dexterous robots
MIT researchers have developed a camera-based touch sensor that is long, curved, and shaped like a human finger. Their device, which provides high-resolution tactile sensing over a large area, could […]
Soft robotic tool provides new ‘eyes’ in endovascular surgery
Scientists at the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems in Stuttgart have developed a soft robotic tool that promises to one day transform minimally invasive endovascular surgery. The two-part magnetic […]
‘Brainless’ robot can navigate complex obstacles
By Matt Shipman Researchers who created a soft robot that could navigate simple mazes without human or computer direction have now built on that work, creating a “brainless” soft robot […]
Battery-free origami microfliers from UW researchers offer a new bio-inspired future of flying machines
Researchers at the University of Washington developed small robotic devices that can change how they move through the air by “snapping” into a folded position during their descent. Shown here […]
High-tech microscope with ML software for detecting malaria in returning travellers
By Deborah Pirchner Malaria is an infectious disease claiming more than half a million lives each year. Because traditional diagnosis takes expertise and the workload is high, an international team […]
