Meta unveils HOT3D dataset for advanced computer vision training

While most humans can innately use their hands to communicate with others or grab and manipulate objects, many existing robotic systems only excel at simple manual tasks. In recent years, computer scientists worldwide have been developing machine learning-based models that can process images of humans completing manual tasks, using acquired information to improve robot manipulation, which could in turn enhance a robot’s interactions with both humans and objects in its surroundings.

Robotic drummer gradually acquires human-like behaviors

Humanoid robots, robots with a human-like body structure, have so far been primarily tested on manual tasks that entail supporting humans in their daily activities, such as carrying objects, collecting samples in hazardous environments, supporting older adults or acting as physical therapy assistants. In contrast, their potential for completing expressive…
