Recent research at Kennesaw State University is working to create robots that better understand movement, touch, and ...

Robots are becoming smarter and more common, but their ability to handle objects with human-like precision remains limited.

Robots now see the world with an ease that once belonged only to science fiction. They can recognize objects, navigate cluttered spaces and sort thousands of parcels an hour. But ask a robot to touch ...

A new study suggests humans can sense hidden objects without touching them, by detecting faint movements in sand. This unexpected form of “remote touch” challenges traditional ideas about how the ...

Robots excel at many things, but having a good sense of touch is not among them. Whether dropping items or pinching them too tightly, which crushes the object, many robots struggle with these basic ...

Microsoft launched Rho-alpha in late January 2026, a robot model that uses vision, language, and touch sensors for two-armed tasks.

Robotiq says it has combined adaptive gripping with high-frequency tactile sensing, enabling robots to generalize across objects.

Humanoid robots raced and punched their way through three days of a multi-sport competition at the World Humanoid Robot Games, wrapping up Sunday in Beijing. But they also toppled, crashed and ...

Robots now see the world with an ease that once belonged only to science fiction. They can recognize objects, navigate cluttered spaces, and sort thousands of parcels an hour. But ask a robot to touch ...

Humans can “catch” fear from robots, new research has shown. The findings – by a team of psychologists from the University of Amsterdam and the University of British Columbia – shed new light on how ...

Microsoft’s Rho-alpha pushes robots beyond assembly lines using language commands, tactile sensing, and heavy simulation ...
