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 flying microbots. Insect-scale robots can squeeze into ...

Robots that look and move like people are no longer only the domain of science fiction movies like Ex Machina or The Wild Robot. By 2026, several robotics manufacturers had demonstrated very human-like machines — with two arms,

Visitors can interact with newly unveiled robots that will be deployed across the centre's galleries. Read more at straitstimes.com. Read more at straitstimes.com.

In crowded environments, more robots don’t always mean faster results—in fact, too many can bring everything to a standstill. Harvard researchers discovered a surprising fix: adding a bit of randomness to how robots move can actually prevent gridlock and boost efficiency.

The latest boom in robotics represents a revolution in the way machines have learned to interact with the world.

Johns Hopkins University researchers have created a system that could make social robots more effective at detecting and managing user interruptions in real time based on a human speaker's intent—a breakthrough for areas like health care and education ...

Most robot headlines follow a familiar script: a machine masters one narrow trick in a controlled lab, then comes the bold promise that everything is about to change. I usually tune those stories out. We have heard about robots taking over since science ...

Breaking away from conventional robots that perform only predefined functions once fabricated, researchers have developed a next-generation artificial muscle that can change its shape in real time, recover from damage,

Underwater robots are regularly used by the oil and gas industry to inspect and maintain offshore structures. The same machines could be adapted to gather extra scientific information, thus boosting environmental and resource ...
