Researchers at Cornell have developed a new AI system called RHyME that enables robots to learn tasks by watching a single “how-to” video. This system allows robots to perform complex activities by drawing on a memory bank of previously viewed actions, even when the execution in the new video doesn’t perfectly match past experiences. RHyME…
Ainos and ugo have achieved a significant milestone by creating the world’s first robot with a functional sense of smell. They successfully integrated Ainos’ AI Nose technology, which digitizes and identifies volatile organic compounds, into ugo’s humanoid robot. This breakthrough allows robots to detect odors and environmental conditions, opening up new possibilities for applications in…
This article details the development of a minimally invasive microrobot designed to navigate the intricate environment of the human brain. The tiny, magnetically controlled device is equipped with tools capable of performing neurosurgical tasks like gripping, cutting, and biopsy. Experiments using a silicone brain model demonstrated the robot’s ability to reach critical areas, suggesting its…
In a world-first, China hosted a half-marathon where 21 humanoid robots competed alongside human runners. The robots, from various Chinese manufacturers, followed tailored rules including battery swap pit stops, while a divider separated their course from the human participants. The Sky Project Ultra robot ultimately won the robot race, finishing in 2 hours, 40 minutes,…
