Test-run shows how a team of three autonomous robots could search for extraterrestrial environments suitable for sheltering ...

The fastest-ever swimming soft robot has been inspired by manta rays. The record-breaking robot has fins shaped like those of a manta ray and is made of a material that is stable when the fins are ...

Harnessing electrical signals made by a king oyster mushroom and its sensitivity to light, researchers engineered biohybrid robots that respond to the environment.

This robot has learned to clean a sink, a task that seems simple for humans but is quite complex for machines. Cleaning involves more than just scrubbing.

Hand’s team, building their robot, had to figure out a design that could deal with all these issues. The work on the robotic system for the Europa lander mission began more than 10 years ago.

Scientists inspired by the octopus's nervous system have developed a robot that can decide how to move or grip objects by sensing its environment.

This allows the robot to track its position in real time and even functions as a joystick-like controller for other robotic systems. One of the most exciting possibilities for this robot is its ...

The documentary “My Robot Sophia” tells the story of David Hanson‘s quest to create a human-like robot who can feel emotions and learn to care. Sophia is powered by artificial intelligence ...

Engineers have developed a versatile swimming robot that nimbly navigates cluttered water surfaces. Inspired by marine flatworms, the innovative device offers new possibilities for environmental ...
