Robot skin that senses touch and pain — and triggers instant reflexes — makes robots more like humans. It probably also makes ...

Here’s an interesting comment from MIT’s Alfonso Parra Rubio, “Treating soft versus hard robotics is a false dichotomy.” For, I suppose, obvious reasons, thinking around technology tends to be a ...

The idea of small robots teaming up to form one giant robot is commonplace in sci-fi shows like Voltron, and researchers are seeking ways to make that a reality. Now, modular robots have just become ...

Robots are about to experience the world in a way we never thought possible. Scientists in Hong Kong have developed a new ...

MIT engineers have designed a walking lunar robot cleverly inspired by the animal kingdom. The “mix-and-match” system is made of worm-like robotic limbs astronauts could configure into various ...

Facebook Inc.’s artificial intelligence research team today announced an open-source platform that it says can be used by researchers to collaborate on more intelligent robots. The idea is that by ...

Bioinspired underwater robots that swim by undulating their bodies may be more energy-efficient than their rigid counterparts, but they're also quite difficult to build. That could soon change however ...

Researchers in Hong Kong have developed a neuromorphic electronic skin that allows humanoid robots to sense touch, detect ...

A Cornell-led team has developed modular robots that can perceive their surroundings, make decisions and autonomously assume different shapes in order to perform various tasks – an accomplishment that ...

Both Russia and Ukraine are innovating methods to deploy ground robots for assault missions, engineering tasks, and ...
