One of the most significant insights from the study is that roboticists must engage both technically and physically with ...

General-purpose robots remain rare not for a lack of hardware but because we still can’t give machines the physical intuition ...

But shape-shifting robots, which are controlled by magnetic fields, can dynamically squish, bend, or elongate their entire bodies. "Such a robot could have thousands of small pieces of muscle to ...

Formless 'slime' robots that shape-change to complete complex tasks – it sounds like science fantasy. However, MIT researchers have developed a machine-learning technique that brings shape-changing ...

Robots now see the world with an ease that once belonged only to science fiction. They can recognize objects, navigate ...

(Nanowerk News) Biologically inspired robotics aims to replicate the extraordinary versatility found in nature. Chameleons alter skin pigmentation to camouflage against predators. Birds morph wings ...

Researchers have created microscale robots less than 1 millimeter in size that are printed as a 2D hexagonal 'metasheet' but, with a jolt of electricity, morph into preprogrammed 3D shapes and crawl.

Smart materials can change their shape or form in response to external stimuli, making them indispensable for many applications, including health equipment and automobiles, among others. Now, a ...

This shape-changing robot just got a lot smaller. In a new study, engineers at the University of Colorado Boulder debuted mCLARI, a 2-centimeter-long modular robot that can passively change its shape ...

On a dusty test site in Australia, a spider-like robot is quietly rewriting the rules of construction, extruding walls in ...
