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 ...

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 ...

In the fiercely competitive global robotics industry, design has evolved beyond simple biomimicry. It now deeply integrates generative AI, embodied intelligence, and humanistic values. China, ...

Researchers took inspiration from ants to design a team of relatively simple robots that can work collectively to perform complex tasks using only a few basic parameters. Individual ants are ...

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 ...

The rise of robots in automation has led to many humanoid helpers. This can be best seen in collaborative robots (cobots) like Baxter from Rethink Robotics or the UR cobots from Universal Robots. The ...
