Furry like real ones, endearing and incredibly comforting, robot pets are slowly but surely finding their way into homes. These little creatures, with batteries instead of hearts and AI hidden beneath ...
Beyond animal biology, the findings could help engineers design flexible robots for challenging environments. "This research provides new ways of understanding neuromotor control in animals, which can ...
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 ...
Video: Runbot exploits processes thought to explain the way animals control locomotion (Image: Florentin Wörgötter/PLOS) A newly improved two-legged robot can adapt to unfamiliar terrain in an ...
Farming is a challenge under even the best of circumstances. Almost all conventional farmers use some combination of tillers, combines, seeders and plows to help get the difficult job done, but for ...
