One of the most basic problems with robotic arms and similar systems is keeping the weight down, as more weight requires a more rigid frame and stronger actuators. Cable-driven systems are a classic ...

A team of researchers has developed a motor-free quadruped robot that mimics a dog’s running motion. Making use of machine learning to analyze canine motion, researchers from TU Delft and EPFL ...

In Tokyo, a humanoid robot is being tested as a potential caregiver for Japan's aging population. Dubbed AIREC (AI-driven Robot for Embrace and Care), the system recently demonstrated its ability to ...

Autonomous vehicles are said to be safer than human drivers – but would you trust a mushroom behind the wheel? A new kind of “biohybrid” robot moves in response to signals from the nervous system of a ...
