China will put a unique ID code on humanoid robots, just like citizen ID for us humans
China has launched a national programme that will assign every humanoid robot manufactured in the country a unique digital identity code, effectively a citizen ID, but for bipedal machines (those that can balance and walk/run on two legs). The…
Motion tracking system shows robots the path most traveled by, keeping them on task
There's a delicate art to teaching robots, even when you're preparing them for predictable environments like factories, where they'll repeat the same tasks a little differently depending on the obstacles they face. Whether a human is suddenly in…
