Scientists achieve major robotics milestone as robot learns 1,000 different physical tasks in single day, potentially ...

Physicists revealed a microscopic phenomenon that could greatly improve the performance of soft devices, such as agile flexible robots or microscopic capsules for drug delivery. In a May 15 paper ...

Robots that move, sense and even coordinate with one another usually bring to mind tangled wires, circuit boards and humming ...

Engineers have developed a new soft, flexible device that makes robots move by expanding and contracting -- just like a human muscle. To demonstrate their new device, called an actuator, the ...

Boston Dynamics’ Atlas is testing warehouse work at Hyundai’s Georgia plant, showing how fast humanoid robots are moving from demos to factories.

Tiny flying robots have always faced a brutal trade-off between agility and battery life, burning through power just to stay ...

The new material has been developed, by researchers based at the National University of Singapore, with robots in mind, in order to improve the performance and sensing ability of mechanoids. The types ...

Roboticists have been motivated by a long-standing goal to make robots safer. The new actuator could be used to develop inexpensive, soft, flexible robots which are safer and more practical for ...
