Think of actuators as the robot’s muscles —the technology that enables humanoids to move. Actuators come in three types: ...

Researchers at Northwestern University in Illinois have demonstrated the world's smallest remote-controlled walking robot. These tiny machines can bend, twist, crawl, walk, turn and jump without ...

The moment of truth had come for the knee-high robot standing on its improvised runway at a hotel news conference. Reporters circled it, their microphones and cameras trained on the machine as it ...

It was seven years ago that we first heard about Harvard University's HAMR cockroach-inspired robot. Although the bot was already on the tiny side, its designers have now created a version that's just ...

Picture a robot controlled by micromotors so small and light that it suspends itself over water like a bug. With engineers at the University of Virginia, that’s now an achievable reality. With their ...

A group of researchers affiliated with Northwestern University, MIT, and the University of Vermont have given a simple request to a custom AI. The AI system that was prompted is trained on robot ...

A group of researchers from Osaka University developed a quadruped robot platform that can reproduce the neuromuscular dynamics of animals (Figure 1), discovering that a steady gait and experimental ...

It’s usually the simple ideas that sprout bigger ones, and this was the case when we saw [gzumwalt]’s single-motor walking robot crawling up a fridge door with magnets on its feet. (Video, embedded ...

Instead of a drone or an autonomous vehicle, your next package might be delivered by a bipedal robot. Digit, which was created by a startup called Agility Robotics, is a package-delivery robot that ...
