On a recent trip to the Bay Area, I took a few hours to pay a visit to Berkeley Artificial Intelligence Research Lab (BAIR). Professor Ken Goldberg walked me around the lab and introduced me to a ...

Robots are rapidly moving beyond pre-programmed automation into a new era of adaptive, learning-driven autonomy. At the center of this transformation is the rise of AI-powered Robot Operating Systems ...

Reinforcement learning is a subset of machine learning where the machine is scored on their performance (“evaluation function”). Over the course of a training session, behavior that improved final ...

Earlier this year, Microsoft and Open Robotics' Robot Operating System (ROS) was made generally available. The open source robotics framework allows for the development of robotics software, ...

Today you might own one robot. Maybe a Roomba, maybe a lawn-mowing robot, or maybe just a toy. But in the future, you'll likely own a dozen robots or more: to clean your house, cook your food, ...

Robotics engineering is a multidisciplinary field including electrical, mechanical, and computer engineering. It deals with designing, building, operating, and engineering robots and robotic systems ...

Open-source software is giving rise to emerging breeds of quasi-commercial, prosthetic, and industrial robots. Robot Operating System (ROS) software — a suite of software libraries that help ...

If you are like us, you probably just spin up your own code for a lot of simple projects. But that’s wasteful if you are trying to do anything serious. Take a robot, for example. Are you using ROS ...

Microsoft has always invested in the field of Artificial intelligence (AI), but so far, its efforts have been focused on the software side of things. Now, the company has announced that it is bringing ...
