Cell-sized robots can sense temperature, make decisions, and move autonomously using nanowatts of power—no external control ...

Powered by light, the robots carry computers and can move in complex patterns, say Penn Engineering and University of ...

In 1982, personal computers were beige, boxy, and built for engineers. They were powerful, but uninviting. Few people knew what they were for, or why they might need one. It took more than just better ...

A technique can plan a trajectory for a robot using only language-based inputs. While it can't outperform vision-based approaches, it could be useful in settings that lack visual data to use for ...

In a joint advance from the University of Pennsylvania and the University of Michigan, engineers have designed the smallest fully programmable autonomous robots ever built – ...

Autonomous robots could save human lives more easily if they could “see” and react better in adverse environmental conditions. By pursuing the possibilities of using millimeter wave radar for robotic ...

Researchers have created the world's smallest autonomous robots smaller than a grain of salt. These programmable ...

On Thursday, a large group of university and private industry researchers unveiled Genesis, a new open source computer simulation system that lets robots practice tasks in simulated reality 430,000 ...

As robots advance and become capable of handling more complex tasks with full automation, interoperability between robotic systems and a mature interface with humans become crucial. The Fast Company ...
