Just like bees, the individual robots in this simulation have no master plan. Simply by responding to local cues, they are able to construct honeycomb-like structures. The method could presage a new ...

Liam Thompson builds his own robot butler and quickly realizes robots don’t understand sarcasm.

It only sucks when it's supposed to.

Nature is, of course, the master engineer—been there, seen it, solved it. While we struggle to design buildings that don't ...

Robotics is moving onto the critical path of data center construction and operations. From fleet-based drilling to perception ...

Scientists create smallest programmable robots ever - smaller than salt grains, these breakthrough microscopic machines could ...

Newly developed mathematical rules allow virtual swarms of tiny robots to build without blueprints. In computer simulations, the robots built honeycomb-like structures without ever following - or even ...
