Soon, a flexible octopus-like robot could be completely free of wires or internal electronics. Engineers at Rice University have unveiled a new soft robotic arm controlled by laser beams.

In its latest video demonstration, the G1 humanoid robot performs an array of impressive kung fu movements with remarkable balance and agility. The robot executes punches, roundhouse kicks and ...

"Our findings will help make robots more robust and widen their range of movement in the real world," says physicist Chen Li, an assistant professor of mechanical engineering and the paper's senior ...

For movement, it either started hanging down inertly and sprung up to move into position, or it began already partly raised. The latter condition was found to make people accommodate the robot ...

Trust between humans and robots is improved when the movement between both is harmonized, researchers have discovered. Trust between humans and robots is improved when the movement between both is ...

Looking for inspiration in the physics of fish movements is just one example of how biomimetics - devices that mimic nature to solve human problems - is revolutionizing the designs of robots.

Most robots rely on complex control systems, AI-powered or otherwise, that govern their movement. These centralized ... all driven only by the flow of air. And it does all that with no brain ...

A team of robotics researchers at Apple have designed and prototyped a lamp-like robot with lifelike movements, according to a blog post and accompanying video published last month on the Apple ...
