The wiring and rewiring of the brain never ends. Neural pathways are constantly being reshaped as we interact with the world ...

Imagine a coffee cup sitting on a table. Now, imagine a book partially obscuring the cup. As humans, we still know what the coffee cup is even though we can't see all of it. But a robot might be ...

In a new study exploring how dogs recognize and generalize objects, researchers from Eötvös Lorand University (Budapest) discovered that dogs prioritize texture over shape when identifying objects.

Even though the human visual system has sophisticated machinery for processing color, the brain has no problem recognizing objects in black-and-white images. A new study from MIT offers a possible ...

In a recent study scheduled to be presented at the RoboSoft Conference, a team of researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have built a robotic hand capable of sensing touch ...

Kaitlin Gunther, a fourth-year psychology and computer science double major from Webster, N.Y., is trying to better understand how fish view the world. RIT will showcase a variety of research projects ...

Newly created soft-rigid robotic fingers incorporate powerful sensors along their entire length, enabling them to produce a robotic hand that could accurately identify objects after only one grasp.

UCLA Samueli School of Engineering and Stanford research has created a computer program with the rather forgettable name of “computer vision” which can independently identify partially seen objects.

Collaboration can be a beautiful thing, especially when people work together to create something new. Take, for example, a longstanding collaboration between Arka Majumdar, a University of Washington ...

CAMBRIDGE, MA -- Inspired by the human finger, MIT researchers have developed a robotic hand that uses high-resolution touch sensing to accurately identify an object after grasping it just one time.
