Can AI Become a true Research Partner?

January 6, 2026 by BBG News

HeurekaBench dissects scientific discovery into a three-stage process-insight generation and validation from literature, reformulation as question-answer pairs, and autonomous, multi-step analysis to produce data-driven answers-effectively creating a system that reverse-engineers the path from observation to verifiable result.

A new benchmark assesses whether large language models can move beyond data analysis and contribute to genuine scientific discovery in complex biological systems.

Robots Get a Grip: Mastering Articulated Objects in Real Time

January 6, 2026 by BBG News

The system demonstrates a capacity for online articulation estimation by autonomously opening cabinet doors that are visually indistinguishable in their closed state, revealing hidden mechanical differences only through interaction-a feat impossible to predict from static observation alone.

A new system combines sensing and machine learning to allow robots to reliably estimate and manipulate complex, moving objects like tools and deformable parts.

The Robot Watchers: How Child Safety Rules Could Surveil Our Future

January 6, 2026 by BBG News

The convergence of domestic robotics and advanced image generation tools speculates on a future where companions designed for care subtly transition into instruments of observation, highlighting the inherent potential for systems intended to nurture to also monitor-a shift indicative of all systems’ eventual adaptation and re-purposing rather than simple decay.

Efforts to combat online abuse are inadvertently paving the way for the monitoring of intimate human-robot interactions, raising serious privacy concerns.

Robots Learn by Watching: Mastering Two-Handed Tasks from Human Video

January 6, 2026 by BBG News

The DemoBot framework addresses the challenge of robotic bimanual skill acquisition by translating single visual demonstrations into executable robot trajectories, a process achieved through a data processing module that distills human motion into structured priors and a corrective residual reinforcement learning module that refines these priors with learned corrective actions [latex]\Delta a[/latex], enabling the robot to adapt to physical dynamics not present in the initial visual data and ultimately complete the demonstrated task.

A new framework allows robots to acquire complex manipulation skills by simply observing a single human demonstration, bridging the gap between human dexterity and robotic control.

Beyond Automation: The Rise of Intelligent Agents

January 6, 2026 by BBG News

The study illuminates how agent AI learns not through isolated mechanisms, but by navigating the complex interplay between those mechanisms, the systems they inhabit, and the foundational models that underpin them-a process suggesting growth rather than construction, and an inevitable acceptance of future systemic shortcomings.

This review explores the rapidly evolving landscape of AI agents, systems capable of perceiving, reasoning, and acting autonomously in complex environments.
