In brief: In what is certainly one of the quirkiest science demonstrations we've seen, researchers have taken inspiration from a phenomenon observed in Cheerios to create tiny robots powered by vodka.

Trust between humans and robots is improved when the movement between both is harmonised, researchers have discovered. These findings could improve the success of real-world human-robot teams, helping ...

To effectively tackle a variety of real-world tasks, robots should be able to reliably grasp objects of different shapes, textures and sizes, without dropping them in undesired locations. Conventional ...

An AI that helps humanoid robots mirror a person’s movement could allow robots to walk, dance and fight in more convincingly human ways. The most agile and fluid robotic movements, such as Boston ...
