Researchers have created microscopic robots so small they’re barely visible, yet smart enough to sense, decide, and move completely on their own. Powered by light and equipped with tiny computers, the ...

To a robot, it might look like something from a horror film. Parts — a battery, circuit boards and wiring —are arrayed in pieces on a white lab bench. Metallic arms and legs lay inert on nearby ...

Scientists have achieved a breakthrough in soft robotics, creating four-legged robots capable of walking immediately after being 3D-printed. This innovation utilizes a novel upside-down printing ...

A wheeled bot rolls across the floor. A soft-bodied robotic star bends its five legs, moving with an awkward shuffle. Powered by conventional electricity via plug or battery, these simple robotic ...

Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania and University of Michigan have created the world's smallest fully programmable ...

In a move that inches us just a little closer to the singularity, engineers have developed robots that can grow, self-repair, and morph by absorbing parts from other robots. They can also help their ...

What just happened? A team of engineers at the University of Edinburgh has unveiled a new chapter in robotics: soft, four-legged robots that can walk off a 3D printer as soon as they're made. This ...

Humanoid robots capture the public imagination, and investors are backing them. That means a lot of reports will be incoming, propelled by marketing bucks. A good time to present the facts, minus the ...

In the TV series Doctor Who, treeborgs supply fresh air to spaceship passengers. Part tree, part robot, these devices convert starlight into oxygen. In Nnedi Okorafor’s fantasy novel Zahrah the ...

This robot opens the way to new scenarios, especially after the announcement of collaboration between the SoftBank Robotics and the Microsoft Company: “SoftBank Robotics Corp. (headquarters: Minato-ku ...

Micro parts are indispensable components. A look at material selection and requirements for medical (for ventilators), dentistry (drills) and laboratory equipment (HPLC systems or pipetting robots) ...
