How US military funding propelled China’s robot dogs

Bee-inspired algorithm helps robot swarms reach consensus

From searching disaster zones and responding to chemical spills to monitoring fragile ecosystems, future robot swarms may have to act in places where direct human control is difficult or dangerous. To operate autonomously, the robots must be able to decide together which problem to address and where to go next. But collective decision-making creates its own vulnerability: Robots improve their decisions by sharing information, yet faulty machines, inaccurate observations or manipulated message…

Virtual rewards train evading drones to outmaneuver pursuers and reach base in high-speed game of tag

The rules of tag are simple enough for a playground: catch or be caught. But when the players are autonomous drones, the game becomes a test of machine learning, split-second decision-making and cooperative strategy.

Drones With Claws Perch on Arctic Icebergs

This article is part of our exclusive IEEE Journal Watch series in partnership with IEEE Xplore. Microspines are one of many ways to enable robots to latch onto surfaces like walls and ceilings . Now roboticists in Canada are using the mini spikes to get drones to land on a more challenging, remote surface: icebergs. Like a spider, the Ice Dart can land on and latch onto steep, slippery surfaces such as icebergs and glaciers—an increasingly useful capability as activity in the Arctic increase…

Is Shipyard Welding the Right First Job for Humanoid Robots?

Humanoids desperately need to stop making YouTube videos and get a job already, and Persona AI is one of the few humanoid companies which seems to be entirely focused on making that happen. Persona’s approach has been to carefully select a job that is economically viable for robots right now, and they’ve found one that was also the job of one of the very first industrial robots ever sold : welding. IEEE Spectrum first spoke with Persona two years ago , shortly after it was founded by Nic Radf…
