Robots are super interesting, but you probably shouldn’t start learning about them with a full-sized industrial SCARA arm or anything. Better to learn with something smaller and simpler to understand.

Robot skin that senses touch and pain — and triggers instant reflexes — makes robots more like humans. It probably also makes ...

The traditional model of robotic design has long demanded extensive knowledge in engineering, AI systems, and hardware integration. Often protracted and resource-intensive, the process historically ...

A team led by Northwestern Engineering researchers has developed the first artificial intelligence (AI) to date that can intelligently design robots from scratch. To test the new AI, the researchers ...

If you’re designing a robot for a specific purpose, you’re probably ordering fresh parts and going with a clean sheet design. If you’re just building for fun though, you can just go with whatever ...

Robots that move, sense and even coordinate with one another usually bring to mind tangled wires, circuit boards and humming ...

Robots don’t need to be smarter, they need to be faster. But all of that doesn’t matter now. In the video released by Figure—a company founded by Brett Adcock with the financial backing of OpenAI, ...

MIT and Google DeepMind researchers have created an AI-driven robot that can turn ideas into physical objects with only simple text prompts ...

For a couple of years now, as AI’s uncanny capabilities have exploded, people on both sides of the debate (proponents versus detractors) have been waiting for humanoid robot dexterity to evolve, in ...

Researchers took inspiration from ants to design a team of relatively simple robots that can work collectively to perform complex tasks using only a few basic parameters. Individual ants are ...
