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

Sergey Levine is an assistant professor at UC Berkeley whose research is focused on the thing our parents used to make such a fuss over, whenever we made stupid mistakes or should have known to avoid ...

Taylor worked with AP from 2018 to 2025, most recently as Google Editor. Amazon unveiled Vulcan, a warehouse robot with 'a sense of touch,' at an event in Germany. Vulcan adds/removes items from pods ...

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 ...

Robots that move, sense and even coordinate with one another usually bring to mind tangled wires, circuit boards and humming motors. In a new study from the University of Oxford, all of that ...

Amazon has deployed over 750,000 robots to its fulfillment centers over the last decade or so, but now there's a new, shall we say, more sensitive addition. The company has announced Vulcan, its first ...
