Should robots be able to cannibalize each other so they can accelerate their evolution, bringing them closer to resembling self-sufficient lifeforms capable of living independently of their human ...

'We're not quite at the level where the robotic skin is as good as human skin, but we think it's better than anything else out there at the moment.' Image: Dr. David Hardman, University of Cambridge ...

A bioinspired robot can change shape to alter its own physical properties in response to its environment, resulting in a robust and efficient autonomous vehicle as well as a fresh approach to robotic ...

In the 1980s when micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) were first created, computer engineers were excited by the idea ...

Researchers at UC Santa Barbara and TU Dresden are pioneering a new approach to robotics by creating a collective of small robots that function like a smart material. According to Matthew Devlin, a ...

Cornell University researchers have introduced a new AI-powered framework that makes robots better at learning tasks. It’s called RHyME, which stands for Retrieval for Hybrid Imitation under ...
