It happens every day—a motorist heading across town checks a navigation app to see how long the trip will take, but they find no parking spots available when they reach their destination. By the time ...

Mobile robots must continuously estimate their position to navigate autonomously. However, satellite-based navigation systems are not always reliable: signals may degrade near buildings or become ...

A 15-second clip created by an artificial intelligence tool owned by the Chinese technology company ByteDance appears more ...

One of the joys of browsing secondhand shops is the possibility of finding old, perhaps restorable or hackable, electronics at low prices. Admittedly, they usually seem to be old flat-screen TVs, ...

Outside of tightly controlled environments, most robotic systems still struggle with reliability, generalization and cost. The gap between what we can demonstrate and what we can operate at scale ...

For autonomous mobile robots to operate effectively in human environments, navigation must extend beyond obstacle avoidance to incorporate social awareness. Safe and fluid interaction in shared spaces ...

Introduction: Telepresence robots (TPRs) must co-navigate with humans in constrained hospital environments, where safety depends on anticipating rather than merely reacting to human motion. Existing ...

An ambulance transporting a patient struck a food delivery robot in Hollywood late Friday morning, prompting a brief police investigation and the dispatch of a second rescue unit, officials confirmed ...

Abstract: We study the problem of robot navigation in dense and interactive crowds with static constraints such as corridors and furniture. Previous methods fail to consider all types of spatial and ...

Blake has over a decade of experience writing for the web, with a focus on mobile phones, where he covered the smartphone boom of the 2010s and the broader tech scene. When he's not in front of a ...

Hyundai-owned Boston Dynamics publicly demonstrated its humanoid robot Atlas for the first time Monday at the CES tech showcase, ratcheting up a competition with Tesla and other rivals to build robots ...

The integration of robotic drive and imaging feedback is implemented using MRI sequences. The entire cycle time is reduced to 30 ms for real-time navigation, and the introduction of reconstruction ...
