The traditional model of robotic design has long demanded extensive knowledge in engineering, AI systems, and hardware integration. Often protracted and resource-intensive, the process historically ...

Internals of 3D printed “print and fold” robot. [Image source: MIT CSAIL] Robot design traditionally separates the body geometry from the mechanics of the gait, but they both have a profound effect ...

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 ...

Building an open-source humanoid robot has traditionally been out of reach for most people due to high costs and complex proprietary systems. While robotics has made major strides in automation, ...

This a robot can walk, without electronics, and only with the addition of a cartridge of compressed gas, right off the 3D-printer. It can also be printed in one go, from one material. Imagine a robot ...

Artificial intelligence can design an autonomous robot in 30 seconds flat on a laptop or smartphone. It’s not quite time to panic about just anybody being able to create the Terminator while waiting ...

When you imagine robots, you probably aren't picturing stretchy meshes that can float on water, but that's exactly what researchers at North Carolina State University have developed. These soft ...

For a couple of years now, as AI’s uncanny capabilities have exploded, people on both sides of the debate (proponents versus detractors) have been waiting for humanoid robot dexterity to evolve, in ...

With plans to take over Mars sometime in the foreseeable future, plans of exploring distant planets and making them a home fit for humans have also become a topic and challenge for scientists as they ...
