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 ...

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 builders make a convincing case that in 2001, robots are where personal computers were in 1980-poised to break into the marketplace as common corporate tools and ubiquitous consumer products ...

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, ...

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 ...

Tiny flying robots have always faced a brutal trade-off between agility and battery life, burning through power just to stay ...

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

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 ...

A lifelong gamer, film fanatic and fan of all things geeky, Andy studied Film and TV Screenwriting at university and achieved a master's degree in Scriptwriting in 2017. As a professional writer, Andy ...

In the fiercely competitive global robotics industry, design has evolved beyond simple biomimicry. It now deeply integrates generative AI, embodied intelligence, and humanistic values. China, ...
