A team at Northwestern University used artificial intelligence to evolve robot body plans inside a physics simulation, then physically assembled the top-performing designs and turned them loose on ...

Flexible and fully integrated, Automation Technology for Robotics (ATRO) is a compact, multi-axis system that supports rapid robot assembly and programming DC Velocity Staff ...

In a move that inches us just a little closer to the singularity, engineers have developed robots that can grow, self-repair, and morph by absorbing parts from other robots. They can also help their ...

It's now actually not that unusual to see quadruped robots that have powered wheels for feet, allowing them to either walk or roll as the situation dictates. The modular D1 is different, though, in ...

Schools of fish, colonies of bees, and murmurations of starlings exhibit swarming behavior in nature, flowing like a liquid in synchronized, shape-shifting coordination. Through the lens of fluid ...

(Nanowerk News) Researchers at MIT have made significant steps toward creating robots that could practically and economically assemble nearly anything, including things much larger than themselves, ...
