Researchers at Tokyo University of Science have developed a new vision-based system that allows robots to accurately grasp transparent and reflective objects without relying on depth sensors. The ...

If you’ve ever pointed across a cluttered room and said “that one,” you already know how much human communication depends on more than words. We don’t just describe things – we gesture, glance, and ...

Abstract: Jamming grippers can grasp objects of various shapes with simple control. However, grasping fragile objects is challenging, as a secure grasp requires firm pressing, which can potentially ...

Researchers have commanded swarms of magnetic microrobots to manipulate, rotate, and assemble objects without ever making physical contact. The development is led by researchers from the Max Planck ...

Design tool Figma launched new AI-powered image-editing features today, including the ability to remove and isolate objects and expand images. The company said that these features will save the hassle ...

We’re introducing SAM 3 and SAM 3D, the newest additions to our Segment Anything Collection, which advance AI understanding of the visual world. SAM 3 enables detection and tracking of objects in ...

Computer-aided design (CAD) is the go-to method for designing most of today's physical products. Engineers use CAD to turn 2D sketches into 3D models that they can then test and refine before sending ...

Scientists from Princeton University, attempting to “blur the lines” between the virtual world and the physical world, have developed a VR-robot interface that allows users to select virtual objects ...

Physicists are exploring a quantum-mechanical approach to making smaller radio wave detectors. Physicists have created a new type of radar that could help improve underground imaging, using a cloud of ...

abstract. Each day, the news brings stories of military attacks on schools, hospitals, apartment buildings, electrical facilities, and other critical civilian infrastructure. The militaries attacking ...

Thanks to JWST, we've learned key details about methanol — a key building block for organic compounds necessary for life — on distant icy worlds. When you purchase through links on our site, we may ...
