A new study explores how robots can model and test aspects of the human sense of self, offering new insights into this complex phenomenon. Robots can simulate processes like body ownership and agency, or be used in experiments to study how humans perceive robots as social entities.
Robots Trained by Video: A Leap Toward Autonomous Surgery
For the first time, a robot has been trained to perform surgical procedures by watching videos of expert surgeons, marking a leap forward in robotic surgery. This breakthrough in “imitation learning” means that robots can learn complex tasks without needing to be programmed for every individual movement. By training on surgical footage, the robot replicated […]
