Jun Zhang, Ph.D., is an assistant professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Nevada, Reno. His research interests lie in the intersection of control theory, robotics, ...

Abstract: Despite having a slow and noisy neuromotor system, humans manage to dexterously interact with complex (nonlinear, underactuated, non-rigid) objects on a daily basis. This feat of human ...

Teleoperation systems constitute an essential field in robotics, enabling human operators to control distant or hazardous environments through remote interfaces. These systems integrate advanced ...

Humanoid and bipedal robot control systems represent a dynamic confluence of robotics, control theory and artificial intelligence. These systems are designed to enable robots to navigate complex ...

Research in dynamics includes theoretical, computational and experimental research in the general area of dynamical systems, dynamics and vibrations, dynamics of flexible bodies, high-dimensional ...

It’s the metal, plastic, and wires that give the robot its shape and allow it to move around. Engineers in this field design ...

Applicable to polishing, deburring, machining and assembly, force control is a flourishing robotics control scheme that allows robots to regulate the force they exert on every axis and joint. In ...

On Monday, a group of AI researchers from Google and the Technical University of Berlin unveiled PaLM-E, a multimodal embodied visual-language model (VLM) with 562 billion parameters that integrates ...

Robots are being put through all kinds of abuse these days. They’re being kicked, punched, shoved, and even dragged by a chain around their neck — all in an apparent effort to teach them how to adapt ...

In a live demonstration, Fredrik Ryden, CEO of Seattle-based Olis Robotics, shows how he can remotely control a robot’s end-effectors. This is Part 2 of a two-part video interview with Ryden. When a ...

On Wednesday, Google DeepMind announced two new AI models designed to control robots: Gemini Robotics and Gemini Robotics-ER. The company claims these models will help robots of many shapes and sizes ...
