Ready for that long-awaited summer vacation? First, you'll need to pack all items required for your trip into a suitcase, making sure everything fits securely without crushing anything fragile.

MIT and NVIDIA researchers created a GPU-accelerated algorithm that lets robots plan complex tasks in seconds, boosting industrial efficiency.

This complexity means such tasks can be incredibly difficult for an autonomous robot and results in most motion-planning algorithms settling for any path - no matter how inefficient - that will ...

How can a robot ... Motion planning involves finding a path from the starting pose to the goal pose that doesn’t collide with obstacles that might be nearby. Typical motion planning algorithms ...

A group of MIT researchers were nominated for two best-paper awards for a new algorithm that can significantly reduce robot teams’ planning time. The plan the algorithm produces may not be ...

Actin version 5.5 adds Actin Viewer enhancements, Motion Script updates and G-code support, making it even easier for robotic systems developers to focus on the robot’s tasks rather than joint ...

The strategy called Bayesian Learning IN the Dark -- BLIND, for short -- is a novel solution to the long-standing problem of motion planning ... suggested by the robot's algorithm.

The system enables the robot to explore their environment, observe other agents, and apply past lessons learned from previous trials to their current object. Popular motion planning algorithms ...
