Robot vacuums are actually worth it if you understand their settings. As a pro robot vacuum tester, I've learned some tips to set them up for success.

For robots to be predictable and adaptive, they need a priority-based architecture and a new legal model, argues a researcher ...

An AI-driven robot successfully removed gallbladders from pig cadavers on its own. Here’s how they did it. (And surgeons shouldn’t put away their scalpels just yet.) ...

This new self-learning robotic arm could be the future of robotic butlers, and it could even teach other robots the things it learns.

As the name suggests, robot lawn mowers are small, self-propelling, Roomba-like mowers that cruise around one's yard and cut the grass. They typically run on rechargeable batteries and can sense ...

Humanoid robots have come on leaps and bounds in the last couple of years, but the grand promises of factories filled with ...

It's hard to compare robot vacuum cleaners in an apples-to-apples way, or to even know what criteria actually matters. As someone who has tested several models over the past 18 months, here's what ...

Dozens of companies are building robots that look like humans. One of them is training a machine to be a butler and will soon test them in homes.

Robots can be finicky learners. Historically, they’ve required precise, step-by-step directions to complete basic tasks and tend to call it quits when things go off-script, like after dropping a ...
