As industrial robots begin learning from simulations, digital twins and even one another, automation on the factory floor is entering a new phase. Instead of relying solely on preprogrammed ...

It’s fairly easy for people to learn from other people – we’ve been doing it for around 300,000 years – because we can observe, copy, and modify what they’re doing. It’s less easy for us to learn from ...

The worldwide AI race is fast developing beyond the computer screen and focusing on the physical world around us. Top labs are intent on making “thinking” robots, with brains that mimic our own, which ...
