Industrial robots like robotic arms are basically everywhere, albeit usually out of the public’s eye in factories. This also means that they get replaced and scrapped all the time, making for many opportunities to snap up an industrial robot that once ...

Nvidia’s new lineup of open-source AI models is headlined by Alpamayo 1 (pictured), a so-called VLA, or vision-language-action, algorithm with 10 billion parameters. It can use footage from an autonomous vehicle’s cameras to generate driving trajectories.

Earlier this year, in March 2024, the AI developer-focused startup Hugging Face — known for maintaining the largest online repository of open source AI models and code — made waves by poaching Remi Cadene, a former staff scientist at Tesla, Inc., to ...

What models are available to engineers for prototype development using AI? (There are more than you think!) In situations where voice control or keyboard or touchscreen commands aren’t practical, are hand signal commands viable if AI can interpret and ...

European roboticists today released a powerful open-source artificial intelligence model that acts as a brain for industrial robots—helping them grasp and manipulate things with new dexterity. The new model, SPEAR-1, was developed by researchers at the ...

For a couple of years now, as AI’s uncanny capabilities have exploded, people on both sides of the debate (proponents versus detractors) have been waiting for humanoid robot dexterity to evolve, in order to answer that all-important question: if AI can ...

TL;DR: Hugging Face has unveiled Reachy Mini, a compact and open-source robot designed to make advanced robotics and artificial intelligence more accessible to a broad audience. Starting at $299, Reachy Mini stands just 11 inches tall and is intended to ...

Simulating physics is central to robotics: before a robot ever moves in the real world, much of its learning, testing, and control happens in a virtual environment. But traditional simulators often struggle to match real-world physical complexity ...
