The size and configuration of that polygon varies, depending on the task for which the robot is required. Among other things, it can walk on four legs, form itself into a robotic arm, or roll like a ...

Researchers at Northwestern University say they have built modular robots that can keep moving even after being cut into smaller segments, according to a new preprint and institutional reports. Each ...

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 ...

Horizon: Zero Dawn and Horizon: Forbidden West: both really great games, no? In entirely unrelated news, we were fascinated to read a recent paper published in the Proceedings of the National Academy ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Sam Kriegman / Northwestern University The future of robotics may not lie in the clunky androids we’ve been seeing so many of ...

A robotics company started by a UC Davis engineering professor and his former graduate student has been awarded a second round of funding from the National Science Foundation small business innovation ...

Each module in the crystalline robot system attaches to another using a key and lock mechanism. This two-dimensional system moves and alters its shape across the plane by expanding and contracting, ...

The UGOT modular AI robot kit offers a fantastic way to learn more about building robots, artificial intelligence and robotics programming. Supporting the Python programming language as well as ...

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 ...
