Soft robotics has emerged as a transformative branch of robotics, distinguished by its reliance on highly compliant materials ...

A tiny robot no bigger than a baseball has quietly rewritten the rules of moon exploration. In January 2024, Japan's space ...

When Japan’s SLIM spacecraft touched down on the Moon, the landing was historic — but not exactly graceful. The spacecraft ...

Thanks to new technologies like artificial intelligence, scientists are increasingly freed from the constraints of the laboratory. It raises questions about how much humans should outsource to robots.

Scientists are building autonomous robotic labs powered by artificial intelligence. The goal, they say, is for these robots ...

Retinal vein occlusion (RVO) is a severe disease that occurs when a vein in the light-sensitive layer at the back of the eye (i.e., the retina) becomes blocked, which results in a loss of vision.

Most robot headlines follow a familiar script: a machine masters one narrow trick in a controlled lab, then comes the bold promise that everything is about to change. I usually tune those stories out.

Even if you've built one of the world's most advanced insect-inspired micro air vehicles (MAVs), it ultimately won't be that useful if it can't stick a good landing. That's why scientists at Harvard ...

Orbit Robotics built Helios, a four-armed robot designed for zero gravity that grips and braces inside spacecraft while ...

Robotics combines computer science, engineering, and technology to design, construct, and utilize machines that are programmed to replicate or substitute human actions and decision-making. These ...
