Robots are rapidly moving beyond pre-programmed automation into a new era of adaptive, learning-driven autonomy. At the center of this transformation is the rise of AI-powered Robot Operating Systems ...

On a recent trip to the Bay Area, I took a few hours to pay a visit to Berkeley Artificial Intelligence Research Lab (BAIR). Professor Ken Goldberg walked me around the lab and introduced me to a ...

Reinforcement learning is a subset of machine learning where the machine is scored on their performance (“evaluation function”). Over the course of a training session, behavior that improved final ...

First released in 2007 by two Stanford PhD students who observed their colleague’s lack of entry into the robotics field, the Robot Operating System (ROS) was developed to be a distributed and modular ...

Earlier this year, Microsoft and Open Robotics' Robot Operating System (ROS) was made generally available. The open source robotics framework allows for the development of robotics software, ...

Open-source software is giving rise to emerging breeds of quasi-commercial, prosthetic, and industrial robots. Robot Operating System (ROS) software — a suite of software libraries that help ...

Robotics engineering is a multidisciplinary field including electrical, mechanical, and computer engineering. It deals with designing, building, operating, and engineering robots and robotic systems ...

If you are like us, you probably just spin up your own code for a lot of simple projects. But that’s wasteful if you are trying to do anything serious. Take a robot, for example. Are you using ROS ...

ROS 2.0 basics. Why ROS 2.0 is important. Features and enhancements achieved with ROS 2.0. Open Robotics released the first ROS (Robot Operating System) in 2007—it was designed to provide a set of ...
