Snake-like robots represent the future of rescue. Their slender bodies allow them to navigate narrow spaces, uneven terrain, ...

Rolling robots and mechanisms represent a dynamic research field at the intersection of mechanical design, advanced control and materials engineering. These systems harness innovative kinematic ...

Researchers have succeeded in improving mobility efficiency by having the snake-like robot move using an “undulating motion” ...

Researchers have developed a new soft robot design that engages in three simultaneous behaviors: rolling forward, spinning like a record, and following a path that orbits around a central point. The ...

The world’s hunger for energy is growing at an unprecedented rate thanks to growing manufacturing and AI data centers. And ...

A small research group from the University of Michigan has developed a three-legged skating/shuffling robot called SKOOTR that rolls as it walks, can move along in any direction and can even rise up ...

Video explaining how torque is applied by the external magnet, to control the internal magnet, demonstrating the rolling motion and the benefits of using the oloid shape. Shows sweeping and rolling ...

Researchers who created a soft robot that could navigate simple mazes without human or computer direction have now built on that work, creating a 'brainless' soft robot that can navigate more complex ...
