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.

It took nature millions of years to create intelligent, adaptive species. Researchers at Northwestern University in Illinois ...

New research helps robots combine language and gestures to find objects in cluttered spaces, improving how they understand ...

If you’re designing a robot for a specific purpose, you’re probably ordering fresh parts and going with a clean sheet design. If you’re just building for fun though, you can just go with whatever ...

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 ...

Robots typically excel at structured, repeatable tasks such as welding body panels together for cars or painting those vehicles. They've long struggled with more variable, less-structured work such as ...

Overview AI robots need both real-world and synthetic data to learn effectively, with tools like simulation and teleoperation ...

Researchers in China have developed a new system that significantly improves how humanoid robots ...

Scientists have developed a network of mechanical motors that mimic the molecular machinery underpinning human muscle ...

Insect-scale legged robots have become increasingly capable in recent years but are still severely limited in terms of onboard resources for computation and power. On the other hand, simple models for ...
