Teaching Robots New Tricks: A Multi-Modal Approach

23.04.2026 by ebaster

The framework integrates physical, verbal, and graphical interaction modalities to enable complementary skill adaptation in industrial robots, with a central [latex]MOMO[/latex] (Motion Modulation) module managing inputs and an Execution Engine deploying the resulting trajectories.

A new framework streamlines robot skill adaptation by combining physical guidance, spoken commands, and visual interfaces, opening up programming to a wider range of users.

Seeing is Knowing: Robots Gauge Human Awareness for Safer Warehouses

22.04.2026 by ebaster

The system processes a stream of monocular RGB images to determine the location and attentional state of individuals within a scene, achieving this by detecting people, reconstructing their 3D keypoints, and calculating awareness based on head orientation relative to the robot - ultimately providing a 3D position and associated awareness value for each person detected.

New research details a vision-based system enabling autonomous mobile robots to assess whether nearby workers are aware of their presence, paving the way for more intuitive and efficient collaboration.

Can AI Make Us Think Worse?

22.04.2026 by ebaster

An exploratory model reveals that perceived efficiency and confidence following AI use are the strongest predictors of critical thinking scores, though diminished patience and a growing reliance on AI also exert a meaningful influence on cognitive assessment-suggesting that the <i>experience</i> of interacting with AI, rather than the technology itself, shapes an individual’s capacity for reasoned judgment.

New research explores how reliance on artificial intelligence tools impacts our critical thinking abilities and reasoning skills.
