Sergey Levine and UC Berkeley colleagues have developed robotic learning technology that enables robots to visualize how different behaviors will affect the world around them, with out human instruction. This ability to plan, in various scenarios,...
In addition to robots with increasingly human-like faces, being used as companions, “patient” robots are being developed to test medical equipment and procedures on babies and adults. Yoshio Matsumoto and AIST colleagues created a robotic skeletal...
Thomas Bulea and NIH colleagues have developed a robotic exoskeleton for children with cerebral palsy. “Crouch gait,” where a person walks with a perpetual bend in their knees, is a hallmark of the disease....
