In this paper, we propose NeRD (Neural Robot Dynamics), learned robot-specific dynamics models for predicting future states for articulated rigid bodies under contact constraints. NeRD uniquely ...

It's been 24 years since CNET first published an article with the headline "The robots are coming." It's a phrase I've repeated in my own writing over the years -- mostly in jest. But now in 2026, for ...

Abstract: Navigating a nonholonomic robot in a cluttered, unknown environment requires accurate perception and precise motion control for real-time collision avoidance. This article presents neural ...

Robots are learning from videos to execute tasks, thanks to a new AI model from Skild. The system enables robots to acquire skills by observing human videos and performing tasks such as opening doors, ...

When human picks up a fragile raw egg, or a slippery and heavy metal cup, human hand naturally adjusts its grip according to its tactile experience to prevent slipping or crushing. For robots, such ...

This repository provides the 📦 supporting the implementation and experimentation of safe motion planning for industrial 🤖🤝. It includes core 🧩 for motion control, sensing, simulation, and ...

The robotics company behind the Neo humanoid robot, 1X, has unveiled a new AI model that it says understands the dynamics of the real world and can help bots learn new information on their own. This ...

Chinese robotics firm PrimeBot introduced Prime last week; it is a series of personal robots designed to move, connect, and interact like humans through programmed personalities. The company has ...

Abstract: This article presents a method for learning well-coordinated human–robot interaction (HRI) from human–human interactions (HHI). We devise a hybrid approach using hidden Markov models (HMMs) ...

Nvidia released a new stack of robot foundation models, simulation tools, and edge hardware at CES 2026, moves that signal the company’s ambition to become the default platform for generalist robotics ...

Most robot headlines follow a familiar script: a machine masters one narrow trick in a controlled lab, then comes the bold promise that everything is about to change. I usually tune those stories out.
