It took nature millions of years to create intelligent, adaptive species. Researchers at Northwestern University in Illinois ...

Humans didn't design these robots; they were “evolved” inside a computer. The results are strange, wildly flipping spider-like machines – and that's exactly what the researchers were hoping for. If ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Humans are naturally aware of their bodies and can anticipate the outcomes of their movements. Robotic experts have been working ...

The robot dog, which has been programmed with the intrinsic movement method, tends to jump and move much faster and more dynamically than its siblings, which rely on more conventional movement ...

BACK IN WITH THE WORK BEING DONE AT CMU. ALL THIS WEEK, WE’VE BEEN TAKING YOU TO THE FUTURE, WHICH IS BEING DEVELOPED RIGHT IN THE HEART OF PITTSBURGH. WE’VE SEEN A DOG, A SNAKE, SOME HANDS, AND WE ...

A new type of shape-shifting robot can amputate its leg to free itself from tricky situations. The robot is the brainchild of a group of engineers at a lab in Connecticut. The robot itself is ...

Researchers have developed a souped-up telepresence robot that responds automatically and in real-time to a remote user's movements and gestures made in virtual reality. Researchers from Cornell and ...

Trust between humans and robots is improved when the movement between both is harmonised, researchers have discovered. These findings could improve the success of real-world human-robot teams, helping ...

In brief: In what is certainly one of the quirkiest science demonstrations we've seen, researchers have taken inspiration from a phenomenon observed in Cheerios to create tiny robots powered by vodka.

Robot model (left)．Equipment used (center)．Unpredictable movements are unpleasant and high-arousal (Right) In recent years, autonomous mobile robots designed for tasks such as food delivery, cleaning, ...
