Since CNET started testing robot vacuums in the early days of the first Roomba, we've worked hard to craft comprehensive ...

A research team has taken inspiration from the brains of insects and animals for more energy-efficient robotic navigation. A QUT research team has taken inspiration from the brains of insects and ...

Michigan Technological University's Robotics and Remote Sensing Lab brought home an unprecedented win in the international Benchmark Autonomous Robot Navigation Challenge. Their victory could set a ...

Robot vacuums have become one of the most common smart home devices, especially for households that want to automate cleaning and save time. Their rise has shifted vacuuming from a manual weekly task ...

Navigating without a map is a difficult task for robots, especially when they can't reliably determine where they are. A new AI-powered solution helps robots overcome this challenge by training them ...

Autonomous free-flying robots aboard the International Space Station (ISS) frequently lose their bearings. Without gravity to distinguish up from down, even precision sensors suffer from accumulating ...

Ground-based robots are typically used for missions where direct human involvement is too expensive, too dangerous, or just ineffective. Often, the robots must be able to operate autonomously, using ...

QUT robotics researchers have developed a new robot navigation system that mimics neural processes of the human brain and uses less than 10 per cent of the energy required by traditional systems. In a ...

If you’ve seen a robot vacuum at work, you’ve probably stared at it as it trundles around a room, gobbling up crumbs and dirt, dodging (or bumping into) every chair leg and stray sock you’ve got on ...
