A research group at Carnegie Mellon University's Robotics Institute will soon host the CMU Vision-Language-Autonomy Challenge, bringing researchers together at the intersection of computer vision, natural language understanding, and navigation autonomy. The challenge aims to progress computer vision and AI-research in real-world systems. The team[...]

It's spring on the Carnegie Mellon University campus, and students divided into teams focused on communications, guidance navigation and control (GNC), and vision have their heads together trying to simulate how a satellite collects and transmits usable images. Across the room, their peers on the[...]

SCS Founders University Professor Takeo Kanade will receive the BBVA (Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria) Foundation's Frontiers of Knowledge Award in Information and Communication Technologies for developing the mathematical foundations for computer vision and robot perception.

Researchers at the Carnegie Mellon Robotics Institute have introduced a learning-based control framework called Agile But Safe (ABS). The framework– developed and programmed by Tairan He, Chong Zhang, Wenli Xiao, Guanqi He, Changliu Liu, Guanya Shi– enables quadrupedal robots to move in a collision-free manner[...]

Researchers at Carnegie Mellon University's Robotics Institute (RI) have developed a robotic system that interactively co-paints with people. Collaborative FRIDA (CoFRIDA) can work with users of any artistic ability, inviting collaboration to create art in the real world. "It's like the drawing equivalent of a[...]

Carnegie Mellon University researchers from its Robotics Institute (RI) and College of Engineering are packing up fossil-inspired paleobionics, robotic hands and autonomous aerial vehicles to demonstrate to members of Congress and their staff at “Robotics for a Better Tomorrow: Robotics Showcase and Demo Day,” in Washington, D.C.[...]
