Researchers reveal the physics of jumping shell structures, improving control and agility in soft robots inspired by the mechanics of a simple popper toy. The team meticulously analyzed the jumping ...

A whole-body control foundation model could help launch humanoid robots toward general-purpose capability, says Agility ...

Event-based cameras and real-time motion analysis are redefining robot vision, tackling assembly challenges that traditional ...

Truly amazing. This is where the current wave of AI can shine. Remarkable that it can be done in Python! Of course they heavily use the high performance weight-lifting libraries around Python, so that ...

Ripple bugs’ nimble movements on the surface of water inspired a robot with automatically unfurling fans on its feet.

Researchers have discovered a way to control tiny, two-inch robots without using computers, opening new possibilities for robot swarms in areas like surveillance and space exploration. A team at ...

Ken Goldberg shares his thoughts about the “humanoid hype” and the emerging paradigm shift in the robotics field.

In brief: In what is certainly one of the quirkiest science demonstrations we've seen, researchers have taken inspiration from a phenomenon observed in Cheerios to create tiny robots powered by vodka.

The study included five people who had experienced a stroke and four living with ALS, a nervous system disease also known as Lou Gherig’s disease. Overall, each participant reported improvements in ...

Physics has a reputation as a tough upper-level science course, even at the high school level. It's therefore somewhat ironic that every human on Earth performs thousands of physics calculations on a ...
