…of every movement. Recent breakthroughs in robotic proprioception at Carnegie Mellon University have propelled us closer to imbuing robots with a simulated version of this remarkable ability (see video below). Picture a robot that can not only comprehend its physical form, but also construct an intricate internal model of its limbs and their positions within three-dimensional space. This development isn't about instilling a sense of self in machines; it's about equipping them with a foundational framework to execute tasks with safe precision around human co-workers. Visualize a manufacturing facility where robots and humans work hand in hand, using virtual proprioception…

New research out of Carnegie Mellon University's School of Computer Science seeks to teach robots to grasp the ungraspable by turning the challenge on its side. Wenxuan Zhou, a Ph.D. student in the Robotics Institute working with Assistant Professor David Held, used artificial intelligence to teach a robot to pick up an item by pushing it against something and grasping it on its side. Her work enables a simple robot gripper to pick up hard-to-grasp objects and to manipulate them in ways that only more complex — and expensive — robotic hands could “We wanted to find a way to…
