Columbia scientists built robots that can grow, heal, and adapt using “robot metabolism,” mimicking nature’s self-sustaining ...

Though Atlas was designed to resemble a person in other ways, its hands aren’t exactly one-to-one. Instead, company engineers ...

Three soft robotics researchers from Fondazione Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia in Italy and the University of Montpellier in France have developed a unique snake-like robot that 3D prints its own ...

A small robot that can shape-shift and produce heat could incinerate cancer cells or stop bleeding from inside the body. It could also be used to ferry drugs directly to tumours or hard-to-reach ...

The ability to remotely control robots in real-time, also known as teleoperation, could be useful for a broad range of real-world applications. In recent years, some engineers have been trying to ...

In the world of robotics, we’ve often seen robots rely on their mechanical hands to pick up and manipulate objects. But that approach doesn’t quite capture the full essence of how humans interact with ...

Researchers at Tel Aviv University have developed a hybrid micro-robot, the size of a single biological cell (about 10 microns across), that can be controlled and navigated using two different ...

Not long ago, for one reason or another, I made a statement here on autoevolution, essentially declaring that as long as AIs don't have physical bodies, there's nothing to be worried about. Well, ...

Researchers have developed a tiny, flexible robot that could crawl through earthquake rubble to locate survivors or travel inside the human body to deliver medicine. These soft robots, made from ...
