Researchers at ETH Zürich are very good at keeping robots standing upright. Back in 2022, the school’s robotics team taught the quadrupedal ANYmal robot how to hike up mountains without falling over.

Most robots rely on rigid, bulky parts that limit their adaptability, strength, and safety in real-world environments. Researchers developed soft, battery-powered artificial muscles inspired by human ...

The authors with their robot. From left to right: Alberto Comoretto, Harmannus A.H. Schomaker, Johannes T.B. Overvelde. A research team from AMOLF in Amsterdam created a soft robot that walks, hops, ...

This group of insects has the ability to walk on top of water, using surface tension and long, hydrophobic legs. For decades, roboticists have tried to emulate this impressive ability. Building ...

Diligent Robotics co-founder Vivian Chu said her "minimum viable humanoid" robots are already helping hospital staff save time.

Robots are being put through all kinds of abuse these days. They’re being kicked, punched, shoved, and even dragged by a chain around their neck — all in an apparent effort to teach them how to adapt ...

Although soft-bodied robots themselves can be fairly simple, low-cost devices, they typically require complex onboard electronics to control their locomotion. Such is not the case with a new bot, ...

Scientists have developed HydroSpread, a novel technique for building soft robots on water, with wide-ranging possibilities ...

Imagine a tiny robot, no bigger than a leaf ... at the University of Virginia’s School of Engineering and Applied Science, is pioneering a way to build them. In a new study published in Science ...

If you are thinking of building your very own desktop robot arm and were intrigued by the project published yesterday which took you through the process of creating a mini robotic arm using Arduino.
