We are used to seeing images of humanoid robots clumsily walking, stumbling over objects and awkwardly freezing in place. Struggling with real-world movement is one of the biggest drawbacks of current robotics. But now a team of researchers has come up with a new system to make them move and react far more reliably, and they worked everything out on a bunch of soccer-playing robots.We are used to seeing images of humanoid robots clumsily walking, stumbling over objects and awkwardly freezing in place.

Before a new AI model reaches the public, its developers run it through a battery of tests known as “benchmarks,” which score it on everything from reasoning ability to how safe it is for people to use. Billions of investment dollars ride on these benchmark scores, and policymakers increasingly cite them to shape regulations and government procurement decisions that will guide the development of AI.Before a new AI model reaches the public, its developers run it through a battery of tests known as “benchmarks,” which score it on everything from reasoning ability to how safe it is for people to use.

A quick search of humanoid robot videos will deliver demonstrations of two-legged robots playing soccer, dancing, jumping several feet in the air, even competing in kickboxing matches. It is all dazzling, certainly. But roboticist Aaron Ames, the Booth-Kresa Leadership Chair and director of Caltech’s Center for Autonomous Systems and Technologies (CAST) and a leader in the field of robotic safety, has deep concerns. What is crucially missing before humanoids can play a larger role in our lives and society, Ames says, is safety.A quick search of humanoid robot videos will deliver demonstrations of two-legged robots playing soccer, dancing, jumping several feet in the air, even competing in kickboxing matches.
