There&#8217;s still a gap between what the robots can do and what people need. The next breakthrough may come in the areas of robotic dexterity, tactile feedback, and manipulation skills,&#8221; said Li Gaofeng, a researcher at Zhejiang University&#8217;s College of Control Science and Engineering.<\/p>\n<p>The continuing CMG World Robot Competition Series will also feature more activities from robot football and basketball games, aiming to showcase the cutting-edge advancements in AI and robotics through competitive, and visually entertaining sports events.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Mauritius<\/span> Follow <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Africa-Press<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Mauritius.
