Locomotive magnetic soft robots are categorized based on their structural characteristics into one-dimensional (1D), two-dimensional (2D), three-dimensional (3D), and fluidic types. Recently, Dr.

Researchers have demonstrated a caterpillar-like soft robot that can move forward, backward and dip under narrow spaces. The caterpillar-bot's movement is driven by a novel pattern of silver nanowires ...

Eels have a unique ability to move even after a spinal cord injury, a feat that has long puzzled scientists. An international research team led by Tohoku University has uncovered the secret behind ...

Most robots have one means of locomotion—they might roll, fly, walk, or even swim. Rarely do they do more than one, though. Engineers at Caltech's Center for Autonomous Systems and Technologies (CAST) ...

A small drone takes a test flight through a space filled with randomly placed cardboard cylinders acting as stand-ins for trees, people or structures. The algorithm controlling the drone has been ...

Structures like the International Space Station are too big and heavy to be built on Earth and then launched into Earth as one piece. Instead, the ISS was assembled in space like a giant Lego set, ...

It’s a bizarre sight: With a short burst of light, a sponge-shaped robot scoots across a tiled surface. Flipped on its back, it repeatedly twitches as if doing sit-ups. By tinkering with the light’s ...

Over the past two decades, humanoid robots have greatly improved their ability to perform functions like grasping objects and using computer vision to detect things since Honda’s release of the ASIMO ...

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