Robots will likely be a part of our everyday life sooner or later, and one scientist is trying to change how empathetic they ...

As the new robot called Sprout walks around a Manhattan office, nodding its rectangular head, lifting its windshield wiper-like “eyebrows” ...

Robots that can think and move are no longer confined to factory floors or humanoid prototypes. Researchers have now shrunk fully programmable machines to a size smaller than a grain of sand, packing ...

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 ...

A Shanghai-based robotics startup is going viral for its latest invention, a humanoid robot named ‘Moya’ that emits its own body heat.

For decades, futurists have promised that robots will transform society, yet that still feels like a distant prospect. In this episode, recorded live at the “Web Summit” technology conference in ...

A group of researchers in the UK has developed an unusual soft robot that moves without motors, joints, or hard components. Instead, it reacts to electric fields, allowing it to shift shape and move ...

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 ...
