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.

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 ...

HOMESTEAD, Fla. — This week, teams of engineers from around the world are competing in the DARPA Robotics Challenge Trials, a prestigious robotics competition that will showcase some of the most ...

[Lance] loves making simple robots with his laser cutter. He finds great satisfaction from watching his robots operate using fairly simple mechanisms and designs a whole slew of them inspired by ...

Microrobots have long promised precision drug delivery inside the human body, but making them practical has remained difficult. Many designs are complex, expensive to manufacture, or hard to control ...

Assembling a future robot could be as simple as heating it up. Two new studies demonstrate how 3D-printed robots could fold into shape and assemble themselves after being exposed to heat. To make a ...

The AI-designed robot has three legs, rear fins, a flat face and is riddled with holes — something a human engineer would never conceive. Inventor of xenobots unveils new advance toward artificial ...
