The introduction of humanoid robots into home environments brings both excitement and skepticism, as their potential to assist with daily tasks is juxtaposed with concerns about their integration into human society. A recent development in this realm is the Neo Gamma robot from 1X, which is an
The notion that robotic collectives could transform into smart, adaptive materials isn't merely a futuristic fantasy. Researchers at UCSB, led by Matthew Devlin and guided by Professor Elliot Hawkes, have made significant strides in this direction. Their innovative work, which draws
Researchers at Northeastern University in China have developed an innovative H-shaped bionic robot that mimics the running gait of a cheetah using piezoelectric materials. This breakthrough in bio-inspired robotics could revolutionize search and rescue missions, combining the agility and speed of
The continuous acquisition of skills in robotic systems has long been a pursuit within the fields of artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics. While human beings naturally accumulate knowledge over their lifetimes, thereby continuously enhancing their abilities and skills, replicating this process
The development of an innovative, miniature swimming robot inspired by marine flatworms has set a new benchmark in the field of bioinspired robotics. This breakthrough robot was developed by researchers from the Soft Transducers Lab and the Unsteady Flow Diagnostics Laboratory at EPFL's School
Microdrones, scarcely larger than a fingernail, have been visualized as essential tools navigating through tight spaces in disaster-stricken areas for years. However, their immense potential in disaster response has been hindered by a formidable technological barrier—sustaining sufficient power for
