AMOLF Research Institute is building self-learning robots that are able to move together in a certain direction without prior programming.

The fast-moving robot dog can achieve speeds of up to 10.4 meters per second (23.3 mph), nearly matching the legendary speeds of Usain Bolt, who set a world-record pace of 10.44 m/s during the ...

Robots of the future are going to blow our minds — and need to be controlled, the billionaire tech exec and entrepreneur says.

Ripple bugs’ fan-like legs inspired engineers to build the Rhagobot, a tiny robot with self-morphing fans. By mimicking these ...

When we think of soft-bodied robots, we tend to picture things that slowly crawl like caterpillars. A new one is able to move much quicker, though, by leaping like a cheetah.

Ken Goldberg shares his thoughts about the “humanoid hype” and the emerging paradigm shift in the robotics field.

With further development, these actuators could shape industrial and battlefield robotics. The research, “ Elastic Energy Storage Enables Rapid and Programmable Actuation in Soft Machines,” published ...

In order for a soft-bodied robot to be practical, it has to be simple, light and energy-efficient, yet still reasonably quick. A newly developed mechanism fits the bill, and it's inspired by the ...
