The setup utilizes a machine learning-based algorithm that was trained on both depth-sensing and color images of the same opaque objects. By having compared a number of the two types of images, that ...

Robots and other automated systems have always had trouble visually gauging the 3D shape of transparent objects, like those made of glass. A new system addresses that problem, by using a laser to ...

(Nanowerk News) Kitchen robots are a popular vision of the future, but if a robot of today tries to grasp a kitchen staple such as a clear measuring cup or a shiny knife, it likely won't be able to.
