In two new developments, scientists created a jumping robot inspired by an African primate and found flaws in flying robot designs by studying a bird’s flight. The history of robotics is littered with ...

Researchers from the University of Leeds have developed an AI system that enables a four-legged robot to adapt its walking style and mimic the movements of a real animal in unfamiliar terrain. With ...

Robotics engineers have worked for decades and invested many millions of research dollars in attempts to create a robot that can walk or run as well as an animal. And yet, it remains the case that ...

Ready, set, go! A robot called mCLARI designed by engineers at CU Boulder poses next to a spider. (Credit: Heiko Kabutz) The question may be the 21st century’s version of the fable of the tortoise and ...

Welcome to another edition of Robots Everywhere, a show where we chronicle the slow but steady takeover of our future robot overlords, and show how they’re making their way into practically every ...

The "Morphobot" will be able to transform to get into inaccessible environments. A real-life transforming robot designed to mimic the movement of animals that roam Planet Earth will eventually change ...

The Robot Zoo exhibit is touring science and natural history museums throughout North America and right now it's in Utah! Children can explore the biomechanics of complex animal robots to discover how ...

Robopets are artificially intelligent machines created to look like an animal (usually a cat or dog, but they can be any animal). There are numerous robopets on the market right now, being sold to ...

Robotics engineers have worked for decades and invested many millions of research dollars in attempts to create a robot that can walk or run as well as an animal. And yet, it remains the case that ...

Most animals run fairly quickly and faster than most humans. But can a robot run faster than most living beings? What makes many animals run faster and better than robots or humans? Robots run faster ...
