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.

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Dana Randall, ADVANCE Professor of Computing and Daniel Goldman, Dunn Family Professor of Physics, head a group of Georgia Tech researchers that use BOBbots (behaving, organizing, buzzing bots) to ...

Humanoid robots may be part of our future, but what we use them for partly depends on answers to very human questions: Do we trust them? Do we like them? According to one prediction, the mass-adoption ...

Researchers who created a soft robot that could navigate simple mazes without human or computer direction have now built on that work, creating a 'brainless' soft robot that can navigate more complex ...

Advances in motor design have allowed different types of robots to both specialize for industrial functions and converge in precision.

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 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 ...
