A team led by Northwestern Engineering researchers has developed the first artificial intelligence (AI) to date that can intelligently design robots from scratch. To test the new AI, the researchers ...

The traditional model of robotic design has long demanded extensive knowledge in engineering, AI systems, and hardware integration. Often protracted and resource-intensive, the process historically ...

A group of researchers affiliated with Northwestern University, MIT, and the University of Vermont have given a simple request to a custom AI. The AI system that was prompted is trained on robot ...

Researchers demonstrate that robots can be designed to react to their environment and perform tasks by programming intelligence into their structure, with minimal electronics.

We’ve all been there — you see somebody do something cool on YouTube and you just have to give it a go. For [lonesoulsurfer], the drop-everything-and-build happened to be a little four-legged walker ...

It can also bend, twist, crawl, turn, and jump with the help of a laser. Our team tests, rates, and reviews more than 1,500 products each year to help you make better buying decisions and get more ...

This a robot can walk, without electronics, and only with the addition of a cartridge of compressed gas, right off the 3D-printer. It can also be printed in one go, from one material. Imagine a robot ...

From sorting objects in a warehouse to navigating furniture while vacuuming, robots today use sensors, software control ...
