Robots make everything look easy, but there's actually a lot of work going on under the hood to make even simple tasks happen. But through impeccable design, practice, and some good programming ...

It’s a tool from MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) that aims to let people design, simulate, and then build simple robots with a “3D print, then fold ...

NYU's Leif Ristroph wanted to design an exceedingly simple miniature flying robot. Instead of finding inspiration in insects, he turned to the jellyfish, a water dweller. Whereas insect-like bots ...

Humanity has unleashed its own version of “life” on Earth: robots that are evolving in ways that are fascinatingly similar to biological organisms.

Robots are only as smart as their programmer, a fact that media and interaction design students at the Swiss arts university ECAL highlight in a clever video featuring Thymio robots spelling out ...

Georgia Tech researchers investigate swarm robotics—the cooperation and interaction among a large number of robots.

Inspired by a theoretical model of particles moving around on a chessboard, new robot swarm research led by Georgia Tech shows that, as magnetic interactions increase, dispersed "dumb robots" can ...

Artificial intelligence can design an autonomous robot in 30 seconds flat on a laptop or smartphone. It’s not quite time to panic about just anybody being able to create the Terminator while ...

A team at Princeton Engineering connected these “bristle bots”—simple robots with vibrating motors and flexible legs—with a flexible polymer tether.

Bio-inspired termite robots build complicated buildings without structure blueprint, with amazing simple rules, Harvard researchers say in Science ...
