Humanoid robots may be part of our future, but human psychology and the uncanny valley may stand between them and world ...

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 ...

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.

Soft robots that run on air instead of electricity are starting to behave less like simple inflatable toys and more like ...

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 ...

The right motor and a modular unit can deliver high torque performance, accuracy and repeatability, plus easy implementation into articulating arms. If you’re planning to build a collaborative robot ...

Robot builders make a convincing case that in 2001, robots are where personal computers were in 1980-poised to break into the marketplace as common corporate tools and ubiquitous consumer products ...

Industrial robot adoption has reached a point of no return. Automated machinery has become an industry standard and will only become increasingly common as time goes on. As this trend continues, ...

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 ...
