Soft robots that run on air instead of electricity are starting to behave less like simple inflatable toys and more like autonomous creatures. Built from flexible materials and intricate channels, ...

Researchers at Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (UC3M) have developed a new methodology for a robot to learn how to move its ...

Robots that move, sense and even coordinate with one another usually bring to mind tangled wires, circuit boards and humming motors. In a new study from the University of Oxford, all of that ...

Picking the right simulation software is a big first step when you’re getting into mobile robotics. It’s not just about ...

Buildings are essential to human society, but let’s be honest: they’re incredibly “dumb.” Your walls don’t know when you’re ...

Focus on One Area: Robotics is broad. You could focus on programming first, then move to electronics, or vice versa. Trying ...

For decades, futurists have promised that robots will transform society, yet that still feels like a distant prospect. In this episode, recorded live at the “Web Summit” technology conference in ...

Firms are working to make the motors that drive robots more efficient and cheaper.

A group of researchers in the UK has developed an unusual soft robot that moves without motors, joints, or hard components. Instead, it reacts to electric fields, allowing it to shift shape and move ...
