In an experiment reminiscent of the "Transformers" movie franchise, engineers at Princeton University have created a type of material that can expand, assume new shapes, move and follow ...

Using paper coated with silicon resin and iron particles, researchers created an untethered soft robot that can move without any electronics. This magnetically controlled device can detect heavy metal ...

Despite decades of progress, most robots are still programmed for specific, repetitive tasks. They struggle with the unexpected and can't adapt to new situations without painstaking reprogramming. But ...

Before there was Arnold (or AH-nuld), there were probably things like this: robots that can walk without sensors or other special means of propulsion. What would it say if it could talk? Probably ...
