Inside a UNC-Chapel Hill Science lab sits an autonomous robot. Imagine a machine like a Roomba, but with an arm, so it can pick up things like a dirty sock off the floor. A group of researchers from ...

Researchers have unveiled the Swarm Garden, a breakthrough in “living” architecture. By linking dozens of tiny, flower-like robots into a communicating swarm, they’ve created a surface that behaves ...

Fauna Robotics is launching Sprout as a developer platform for humanoid robots. The robot features 29 degrees of freedom and ...

Insect-scale legged robots have become increasingly capable in recent years but are still severely limited in terms of onboard resources for computation and power. On the other hand, simple models for ...

In what might be one of the most underappreciated technological breakthroughs of our time, Alphabet's Google DeepMind has accomplished something deceptively difficult -- teaching a robot to tie ...

The master’s in robotics emphasizes the analysis, control and design of robots, which play a crucial role in modern society; including robotic arms for manufacturing and assistive co-robots in ...

Robots are super interesting, but you probably shouldn’t start learning about them with a full-sized industrial SCARA arm or anything. Better to learn with something smaller and simpler to understand.

An egg-cracking beam relies on a hyperelastic torque reversal mechanism similar to that used by mantis shrimp and jumping fleas. Credit: Seoul National University. We usually think of robots as being ...

Large language models like ChatGPT display conversational skills, but the problem is they don’t really understand the words they use. They are primarily systems that interact with data obtained from ...
