Arm drift after long reinforcement training caused by action prefix drift. Source: Humanoid Robotic manipulation is making progress with artificial intelligence. London-based Humanoid last week introduced KinetIQ Ascend, its reinforcement learning, or RL, approach designed to reach 99.9% manipulation reliability at human speed and beyond. “The humanoid race is becoming a question of scale, and…

McLaren will deploy autonomous quadruped robots initially to capture 360° site imagery, generate data and support safety compliance patrols and quality assurance. Regular automated scans by FieldAI robots will create a visual and spatial record of work as it is installed. AI-enabled analysis will compare site data against the design model, reducing the time between install…
