A series of videos is reigniting debate over the future of humanoid robots. The videos shared by robot builder and researcher Logan Olson from October show the training exercise that enables a ...

It’s a bizarre sight: With a short burst of light, a sponge-shaped robot scoots across a tiled surface. Flipped on its back, it repeatedly twitches as if doing sit-ups. By tinkering with the light’s ...

Biological systems have inspired the development of next-generation soft robotic systems with diverse motions and functions. Such versatility in soft robots—in terms of rapid and efficient ...

MIT researchers have demonstrated aerial microrobots that can fly with speed and agility that is comparable to their ...

(A) Robot’s body featuring anterior and posterior segments and 2 proximity sensors mounted on its head. (B) Demonstration of different deformation modalities and schematic of inflated chambers. (C) ...

Like something out of an early Transformers movie, researchers at Caltech have just demonstrated how a humanoid and a drone can team up to accomplish multiple forms of movement. The experiment opens ...

A kirigami-skinned soft robot powered by pneumatic muscles achieves crawling, steering and obstacle avoidance, advancing mobility for confined and rough terrain. (Nanowerk News) Limbless animals move ...

Weighing less than a paper clip, they can stay aloft more than 100 times longer than previous designs. Tiny flying robots could perform such useful tasks as pollinating crops inside multilevel ...

The tech industry has become obsessed with the idea of humanoid robots, bipedal androids designed to complete tasks on behalf of their flesh-and-blood counterparts. But as many experts have argued, ...

The robots utilize paper-based electrodes and liquid crystal elastomers for asymmetric bending and crawling motions. Biological systems have inspired the development of next-generation soft robotic ...
