As per the study, these robots could “absorb and reuse parts,” not from a factory, but from their environment or even from other robots.

Traditional robot bodies "are still monolithic, unadaptive, and unrecyclable," said paper author and mechanical engineer Hod Lipson.

Today's robots are stuck—their bodies are usually closed systems that can neither grow nor self-repair, nor adapt to their ...

Scientists use millions of foam lattice combinations to create a robotic elephant with a twisting trunk and jointed limbs.

A cheetah's powerful sprint, a snake's lithe slither, or a human's deft grasp: Each is made possible by the seamless ...

RealSense spun out from Intel Corp. late last week with $50 million in funding from Intel Capital and MediaTek Innovation Fund.

Parkie glides underneath vehicles, lifts them by the wheels, and manoeuvres them into tight spaces without human intervention ...

Serve Robotics launches fleet of autonomous UberEats food-delivery robots in metro Atlanta, including one painted by local muralist.

Scientists have created the first soft robots that can walk straight out of the machines that make them. The flexible, four-legged devices were developed using a new 3D printing system, which ...

ADAR empowers autonomous robots with omnidirectional depth perception, enabling them to ‘hear’ their surroundings in real-time 3D using airborne soundwaves to interpret spatial information. The sensor ...

It turns out, 3D printing will likely be a good solution to building infrastructure beyond planet Earth one day. ICON is working with NASA to develop space-based construction systems that could ...
