Engineers have come up with a new way to teach robots to know when they don't know. The technique involves quantifying the fuzziness of human language and using that measurement to tell robots when to ...

Nick Morales used his final project in the MSR program to investigate a form of robotics that enables machines to predict human intent to move and position large, heavy objects. Anyone who has ever ...

Kris Weng (MSR '25) used his MSR final project to develop a dextrous robotic hand and arm that learns as it provides assistance. In 1989, video gamers around the world were sold the potential of ...

Concepts of Robot Programming introduces the methods that engineers use to train robots to perform manufacturing tasks and the ideas behind those methods. Programming methods include online ...

On a hot morning this past summer, a sleepy John Crerar Library starts to rouse as Chicago Public Schools rising seniors arrived for a college-level robot programming course on the University of ...

Bacteria-scale robots that can run for months without human control are no longer a lab fantasy. Researchers have now built fully programmable micro-machines, smaller than a grain of salt, that can ...
