ANN ARBOR – The National Science Foundation has awarded the University of Michigan a new $1 million research grant to "train" robots to navigate disaster zones and wilderness areas in real time.
U-M has been conducting research with bipedal (or two-legged) walking robots for years, and the new, three-year project aims to get the robots to traverse terrain freely without relying on a preexisting map of the area.
How the U.S. Army Is Turning Robots Into Team Players - IEEE Spectrum
RoMan, the Army Research Laboratory's robotic manipulator, considers the best way to grasp and move a tree branch at the Adelphi Laboratory Center, in Maryland.
"I should probably not be standing this close," I think to myself, as the robot slowly approaches a large tree branch on the floor in front of me.
New disinfecting robots help keep classrooms clean in DMV

These robots will carry water for you - The Boston Globe
A cute new cargo robot called the Gitamini launches this week. For $1,850, it trails behind you while schlepping 20 pounds of stuff. It can fit a single bag of groceries, a case of beer, or a backpack — without much room to spare. A larger version is available ― for $2,950.
Pandemic sparks rapid growth in software robots to perform routine office jobs
The pandemic-fueled growth in the adoption of software robots designed to ease routine office work is making one task a lot easier for chief information officers: selling the idea to their corporate bosses, The Wall Street Journal reports.
The technology—known as robotic process automation, or software bots—became a critical tool last year during COVID-19 lockdowns and office closures as companies worked to keep their businesses up and running.
If robots need to persuade humans, they shouldn't resemble authority figures: U of T study
In the future, socially interactive robots could help seniors age in place or assist residents of long-term care facilities with daily activities. But will people actually accept advice or instructions from a machine?
"When robots present themselves as human-like social agents, we tend to play along with that sense of humanity and treat them much like we would a person," says Shane Saunderson , a PhD candidate in the department of mechancial and industrial engineering in the Faculty of Applied Science &
Podcast: Building Food Robots with Now Cuisine’s Adam Lloyd Cohen
In the mid-eighties, Adam Lloyd Cohen was in Paris working on a documentary about ancient robots as a project during his senior year in college.
In 2018 he got to work on a beta prototype of a food-making robot that he and his new company Now Cuisine trialed in late 2020.
