Claire chatted to Pratap Tokekar from the University of Maryland about how teams of robots with different capabilities can work together.

Pratap Tokekar is an Associate Professor in the Department of Computer Science and the Institute for Advanced Computer Studies at the University of Maryland, and an Amazon Scholar. Previously, he was a Postdoctoral Researcher at the GRASP lab of University of Pennsylvania and later, an Assistant Professor at Virginia Tech. He has a degree in Electronics and Telecommunication from the College of Engineering Pune in India and a Ph.D. in Computer Science from the University of Minnesota. He received the Amazon Research Award in 2022, and the NSF CAREER award in 2020.

A portrait of English mathematician Alan Turing became the first artwork by a humanoid robot to be sold at auction, fetching more than $1.0 million on Thursday.

An AI model could accurately identify goats in pain, opening up better treatment opportunities for animals and non-verbal patients.

Scientists have created a robot that can learn tasks like cleaning a washbasin just by watching humans. A special sponge with sensors is used to show the robot how to clean. Using an advanced machine learning system, the robot learns how it is supposed to behave and can apply this knowledge to cleaning different washbasins.

Imagine a lab assistant with the computing and operational power of 10 Ph.D. students, capable of functioning in extreme environments like Mars. This vision has become a reality at the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC), where a team of scientists has developed a robotic chemist named Luke.

A team has developed a plastic surgical field expansion plate that can help surgeons during robot-assisted heart surgery.

Artificial intelligence can have infinite patience and allow human staff to take needed breaks to rest and recover from the highly stressful environments that working with challenging individuals can present.

Researchers have developed AI-driven mobile robots that can carry out chemical synthesis research with extraordinary efficiency. Researchers show how mobile robots that use AI logic to make decisions were able to perform exploratory chemistry research tasks to the same level as humans, but much faster.

This article will explore how automotive tier suppliers can leverage AMRs to streamline material handling, cut operational costs and improve workforce safety—all without the need for expensive infrastructure overhauls.

In recent years, roboticists have introduced robotic systems that can complete missions in various environments, ranging from the ground to underground, aboveground and underwater settings. While several of these robots can grasp and move objects on the ground, the handling of objects by robotic systems underwater has so far proved more challenging.

Researchers from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have developed a high-tech drowning prevention and rescue system and introduced it to a scenic water area in Central China's Henan Province on Oct. 25.

The AI market is in its infancy. While Microsoft was a first mover with AI, it screwed up the product launch because one of the two tools it was supposed to launch wasn’t ready. Additionally, the products didn’t address Microsoft’s […]
