A Cornell-led team has developed modular robots that can perceive their surroundings, make decisions and autonomously assume different shapes in order to perform various tasks – an accomplishment that ...

LimX Dynamics has taken another leap in humanoid robotics with its latest demonstration of Oli. In a new YouTube video ...

There are already several autonomous robots that mow grass, and even a few that clear snow. The modular Yarbo robot, however, can tend to both grass and snow, plus it can blow away dead leaves or ...

A research team led by Cornell University has demonstrated a bunch of modular robots that move together as one, but break apart and reform as a different shape that's better suited to the assigned ...

Researchers at Dartmouth College have created modular robots that can assemble into structures and move through real-world terrain. Built from cube-shaped blocks, the robots combine rigid rods with ...

Robots are going to have to work together if they want to destroy us, their soft, fallible masters. But the current paradigm of having a Skynet-like (or rather, Zerglike) overmind control a set of ...

ZURI is a DIY, programmable “Paperbot” system, which is pretty much exactly what it sounds like: The parts are built with paper and cardboard. Plus, the design is modular. By combining leg- and ...

While robots have been making our lives easier and our assembly lines more efficient for over half a century now, we haven’t quite cracked a Jetsons-like general purpose robot yet. Sure, Boston ...

Researchers say they want to create the ‘Swiss army knife’ of the robot world Researchers say they want to create the ‘Swiss army knife’ of the robot world The basic module of this bot is comprised of ...

I recently got a chance to see the new Yarbo modular robot in action at a home on Long Island, N.Y. It’s part lawn mower, snow blower, and leaf blower (for now). I watched as the device made its way ...

Soft robots are a major area of research right now, but the general paradigm seems to be that you pump something (a muscle or tube) full of something else (air, fluid) causing it to change its shape.

Can you build robots 10x faster and 10x cheaper? Yes, according to the CEO of a six-year-old Silicon Valley robotics company that has created a 200-module-strong development platform for autonomous ...
