Researchers have developed small robots that can work together as a collective that changes shape and even shifts between solid and “fluid-like” states — a concept that should be familiar to anyone ...

Newly developed mathematical rules allow virtual swarms of tiny robots to build without blueprints. In computer simulations, the robots built honeycomb-like structures without ever following - or even ...

Aug. 29 sees the 22nd All Japan Robot Sumo Tournament kicking off with the Tohoku playoffs in Akita. The tournament is an opportunity for Japan's amateur robot enthusiasts to show off their skills, as ...

Just like bees, the individual robots in this simulation have no master plan. Simply by responding to local cues, they are able to construct honeycomb-like structures. The method could presage a new ...

First-grade students at Department of Defense Education Activity (DoDEA) Pierce Terrace Elementary on Fort Jackson, S.C. recently tested their creativity by designing and constructing helpful robots ...

Swarm Intelligence, inspired by collective behaviors in nature, is now being applied to robotics, enabling multiple humanoid robots to collaborate seamlessly on complex tasks. UBTech's Walker S1 ...

And now, humanoid robots. It’s only the latter, however, that’s anticipated to one day be a multitrillion dollar market, with big firms like Tesla leading the charge. In March, Tesla CEO Elon Musk ...
