3+ day, 6+ hour ago   (154+ words) The first opponent was a hand-written heuristic: count trump strength, bid Hokm with jack and nine, lead high in Sun. It played legal Baloot but lost to humans, mostly because bidding depends on your partner's likely hand and the dealer…...

3+ day, 10+ hour ago   (665+ words) If I give my daughter milk or water, I can almost guarantee she will spit it out. She’s 21 months old, and while she actually enjoys both drinks, halfway through she inevitably decides it’s time for a daily physics experiment. She…...

5+ day, 12+ hour ago   (897+ words) A robot only really needs three things. It needs a way to take in information about the world, a way to physically do something about it, and something in the middle that decides what that something should be. Sensors, actuators…...

1+ week, 4+ day ago   (290+ words) With a validated demonstration dataset in hand, the next step is building the actual training pipeline: turning (observation, action) pairs into a policy that can control the robot on its own. This tutorial covers the end-to-end pipeline — data loading, model…...

1+ week, 5+ day ago   (501+ words) Geospatial intelligence is booming, with the market projected to exceed $18 billion globally by 2026. This growth is reshaping how autonomous systems perceive and navigate their environments. AI-powered models are driving innovations in self-navigating vehicles, urban planning, and more, replacing the reliance…...

2+ week, 2+ day ago   (768+ words) Grasp planners that hinge on object models are being eclipsed by approaches that synthesize contacts directly on the hand. A new generation of generative planners learns only the geometry of a gripper’s contact surface and can produce viable grasps for…...

2+ week, 2+ day ago   (906+ words) At this year's World Robot Conference (WRC) in August, a robot stood beside the podium on the closing day, helping staff carry out the award ceremony. It was a joint creation from Mininglamp and HIKROBOT's shared booth, and one of…...

3+ week, 6+ day ago   (263+ words) Object detection is an important capability for autonomous robots. A robot can use detections to identify people, vehicles, tools, obstacles, and other objects in its environment. The exact model format depends on the runtime you choose. For Android edge deployment,…...
