Adding legs to robots that have minimal awareness of the environment around them can help the robots operate more effectively in difficult terrain, my colleagues and I found. We were inspired by ...

Researchers have developed a bird-like robot capable of walking, hopping, and leaping into flight. Named RAVEN (Robotic Avian-inspired Vehicle for multiple Environments), the design features ...

Researchers at ETH Zürich are very good at keeping robots standing upright. Back in 2022, the school’s robotics team taught the quadrupedal ANYmal robot how to hike up mountains without falling over.

Midea has officially unveiled its next-generation humanoid robot, Miro U, at an event in Guangzhou, China. The robot is the ...

Researchers Indrek Must and Kadri-Ann Valdur of the Institute of Technology of the University of Tartu have created a robot leg modelled after the leg of a cucumber spider. A soft robot created in ...

Dreame Technology was only founded in 2017, but the team has definitely proved that their forward-thinking smart tech ideas ...

A hopping, insect-sized robot can jump over gaps or obstacles, traverse rough, slippery, or slanted surfaces, and perform aerial acrobatic maneuvers, while using a fraction of the energy required for ...

Ground-going delivery robots are already streamlining operations in various industries, but they typically still have to be loaded and unloaded by humans. That's where the multi-terrain LEVA bot comes ...

A robot dog can use a leg to open doors, press buttons and pick up rucksacks while balancing on its other three legs. Four-legged robots like Spot, the star of Boston Dynamics’ viral videos, normally ...

PITTSBURGH — So many people think they aren’t artistic at all, but a new robot created at Carnegie Mellon University lets anyone become an artist. The robot’s name is Frida, and it’s a drawing robot.

Robots are being put through all kinds of abuse these days. They’re being kicked, punched, shoved, and even dragged by a chain around their neck — all in an apparent effort to teach them how to adapt ...

Although soft-bodied robots themselves can be fairly simple, low-cost devices, they typically require complex onboard electronics to control their locomotion. Such is not the case with a new bot, ...
