Researchers at a Chinese university have built a soft, human-inspired robot that can physically grow and shrink on command, ...

Only a couple weeks removed from seeing a bunch of weird robots at CES, scientists have unveiled a new innovation in the world of creepy robotics — the detachable crawling robotic hand. Of course, one ...

While the majority of currently available robotic hands are designed to mirror the highly dexterous human hand, their asymmetric structure — which enables grasping from one side only — and limited ...

Researches used a model trained on parkour completions to teach this 100 pound robot to run through an obstacle course. Researchers from ETH Zurich are trying to close the mobility gap between robots ...

Cornell University researchers this week unveiled tiny “metasheet” robots capable of transforming into pre-determined shapes and crawling around when electricity is applied. Along with biological ...

A kirigami-skinned soft robot powered by pneumatic muscles achieves crawling, steering and obstacle avoidance, advancing mobility for confined and rough terrain. (Nanowerk News) Limbless animals move ...

A muscle from the slug's mouth helps the robot move, which is currently controlled by an external electrical field. Future iterations of the device will include ganglia – bundles of neurons and nerves ...

The future of moon exploration may be rolling around a non-descript office on the CU Boulder campus. Here, a robot about as wide as a large pizza scoots forward on three wheels. It uses an arm with a ...
