Industrial robots like robotic arms are basically everywhere, albeit usually out of the public’s eye in factories. This also means that they get replaced and scrapped all the time, making ...

Jet-powered humanoid iRonCub achieves simulated flight stability, paving the way for disaster-response and advanced robotics applications.

Fidget poppers are an example of "bistability," as the popped circles rest in one of two stable states. Purdue University researchers have taken this idea to its extreme, building robots that can be ...

Like octopuses squeezing through a tiny sea cave, metatruss robots can adapt to demanding environments by changing their shape. These mighty morphing robots are made of trusses composed of hundreds of ...

Engineers at the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology have developed a way for robots to precisely grasp ...

On September 29th, the Linux Foundation announced that it is contributing Newton, a next-generation, GPU-accelerated physics ...

In a proof-of-concept study that integrates smart materials, machine learning and an optical control system, a team of Rice researchers led by materials scientist Hanyu Zhu used a light-patterning ...
