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 ...

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 ...

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

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 ...

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 ...
