Researchers at a Chinese university have built a soft, human-inspired robot that can physically grow and shrink on command, mimicking the way human bones elongate during development. The robot, called ...

Engineers at MIT have devised an ingenious new way to produce artificial muscles for soft robots that can flex in more than one direction, similar to the complex muscles in the human body. The team ...

Robots have come a long way since they were first imagined over 100 years ago, and this new Chinese model continues to push the tech forward.

Pop culture has often depicted robots as cold, metallic, and menacing, built for domination, not compassion. But at Georgia Tech, the future of robotics is softer, smarter, and designed to help.

It’s a bizarre sight: With a short burst of light, a sponge-shaped robot scoots across a tiled surface. Flipped on its back, it repeatedly twitches as if doing sit-ups. By tinkering with the light’s ...

A newly developed AI control system using neuron-inspired learning enables soft robotic arms to learn a broad set of motions once and adapt instantly to changing conditions without retraining Inspired ...

Researchers at the University of Tokyo published findings on a method of attaching artificial skin to robot faces to protect machinery and mimic human expressiveness. By Emily Schmall Engineers in ...

On Wednesday, Clone Robotics released video footage of its Protoclone humanoid robot, a full-body machine that uses synthetic muscles to create unsettlingly human-like movements. In the video, the ...
