    Why a friendlier robot loses your trust faster when It messes up

    A study found that expressive humanoid robots, like Pepper, cause people to lose trust faster when they make errors. Oxytocin levels rose in participants during robot errors, correlating with decreased trust and influence. Expressive robots triggered heightened brain activity in regions linked to social reasoning and uncertainty.

    New robotic control software avoids jamming their joints

    Researchers at École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) developed Kinematic Intelligence, a robotic framework that enables seamless transfer of skills between robots, similar to syncing data between smartphones. This system addresses the challenge of retraining robots when hardware is upgraded, as described in a recent Science Robotics paper.
