Imagine a robot that can walk, without electronics, and only with the addition of a cartridge of compressed gas, right off the 3D-printer. It can also be printed in one go, from one material.

The robot is able to adapt its movements to walk on rough terrain, trek up steep slopes, tumble over large obstacles, fly to higher levels and crawl under low-ceiling pathways, Alireza Ramezani ...

The definition of robotics is older than actual robots. In fact, the ancient Greek writer Homer described "intelligent machines" such as wheeled tripod machines in "The Iliad" around 2,800 years ago.

Roboticists have developed flexible feet that can help robots walk up to 40 percent faster on uneven terrain such as pebbles and wood chips. The work has applications for search-and-rescue ...

According to a new study from Frontiers in Robotics and AI, researchers have designed a new type of robot to revolutionize large construction projects in space: The E-Walker. “The research is about ...

A team of researchers is developing a swarm of robots for space mining projects. The team, which received $500,000 in funding from NASA, envisions the robots will be able to mine, excavate, and ...

A Ghost Robotics, Vision 60 Quadruped Unmanned Ground Vehicle (Q-UGV) is operated during a demo for 45th Security Forces Squadron at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, Fla., July 28, 2022.

A robot can now navigate rough terrain, marching happily over rocks and sand. A team from the University of California San Diego has developed the first soft robot that can walk on rough surfaces ...

Everyone knows that, unless you’re extraordinarily gifted, you need to crawl before you can walk. Turns out the same principle could also apply to robots. In a first-of-its-kind experiment ...

Walking is hard, and what's hard for humans is equally confounding for robots. But with the help of machine learning, a robot learned to walk in just a few hours—a good 12 months faster than the ...

The robots, or 'mechas' in new movie 'Pacific Rim' are huge. But bigger isn't always better, say roboticists. Here are a few of the challenges of making giant robots—and why humanity should ...

This a robot can walk, without electronics, and only with the addition of a cartridge of compressed gas, right off the 3D-printer. It can also be printed in one go, from one material.
