Beyond the Body: Defining Personal Space for Robotic Limbs

03.02.2026 by ebaster

Spatial relationships are negotiated through three distinct modes of robotic assistance: cross-body handovers where the robot reaches across the user’s midline to exchange objects, stabilization and assistance during bimanual tasks, and a rule-based authoring system allowing users to define the robot’s spatial boundaries and autonomy-a framework predicated on the inevitability of unforeseen interactions.

As supernumerary robotic limbs move closer to everyday use, establishing clear spatial boundaries is critical for safe, intuitive, and comfortable human-robot interaction.

Learning to Bend Reality: A New Simulator for Soft Robotics

03.02.2026 by ebaster

SoMA reconstructs deformable objects from real-world manipulation data as hierarchical Gaussian splats, propagating their motion through a neural simulator governed by force-based interactions-a two-stage training strategy first establishes global movement across significant temporal distances before refining nuanced dynamics even under conditions of occlusion and contact.

Researchers have developed a neural simulator that learns to accurately model the complex dynamics of deformable objects manipulated by robots, bridging the gap between simulation and real-world performance.

Uncovering Hidden Order: AI’s New Lens on Physical Data

03.02.2026 by ebaster

Symmetry within machine learning manifests across three distinct approaches: architectural imposition of invariance, implicit introduction through data manipulation, and emergent organization arising within latent spaces-a progression where control gives way to the spontaneous formation of order without explicit design.

Researchers are harnessing the power of artificial intelligence to identify underlying symmetries and reduce complexity in datasets, offering a novel approach to understanding the fundamental structure of physical phenomena.
