But that’s not how living creatures work. While the overwhelming majority of macroscopic living beings contain some sort of “hard” parts—bones or exoskeletons—our movements are driven by muscles and ...

Robots are becoming increasingly capable and independent, yet one surprisingly simple issue continues to challenge engineers.

Several companies are trying to bring humanoid robots to market, but this company just built an entire neighborhood in ...

A robotics maker has showcased a functional laundry-folding robot prototype made in under 24 ...

Soft robots made out of flexible, biocompatible materials are in high demand in industries from health care to manufacturing, ...

Researchers at Miguel Hernández University (Elche, Spain) have developed MCL-DLF, a coarse-to-fine 3D LiDAR localization approach combining Monte Carlo Localization with deep local features for ...

Buyer beware, robot vacuums are often handy, but choosing the wrong brand and appliance can actually increase the time one ...

With the fast-developing 3D printing technology, we are now able to construct houses much faster and cheaper. But is that enough to tackle the ongoing housing shortage? Across the whole Western world, ...

The method, described in Advanced Materials, replaces the slow, multi-step molding and casting process that traditionally defines soft robotics. Researchers have figured out how to 3D-print ...

Mobile robots must continuously estimate their position to navigate autonomously. However, satellite-based navigation systems are not always reliable: signals may degrade near buildings or become ...

Researchers at the University of Michigan have developed a modular, open-source robot that can ...

For a low-cost solution, Karthik Urs, then at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, and his colleagues 3D printed a robot with legs that can be adapted to match those of various species — complete ...
