Robots are developed for a wide variety of uses. These include assembly, welding, monitoring marine life, rescue and recovery and even vacuuming the floor. Because of this, there is a multitude of ...

Researchers report building photonic computing chips that use light pulses to train spiking neural networks on ...

The robot, equipped with a solar panel -- like energy harvester and four wheels, is about the size of a penny, weighs as much as a raisin and can move about the length of a bus in an hour on a cloudy ...

An insect-scale robot that jumps using only light has completed 188 continuous leaps without ...

A joint research team has developed a stretchable and adhesive microneedle sensor that can be attached to the skin and stably measure high-quality electrophysiological signals for a long period of ...

Robot navigation systems can be complicated to design — they need software algorithms, electronics, and mechanical components. They must be able to move accurately, and they need sensors to gather ...

Biological systems can actively sense and adjust their mechanical response to changes in their environment. Until now, the mainstream research on biomimetic robotics is to mimic the complex motion of ...

According to its developers, the soft robot automatically bends, snaps and resets itself without a single electronic component, completing 188 continuous leaps in the lab. Source: ...

Robots could soon have a softer, more human touch thanks to optical pressure sensors embedded in an artificial "skin." Robots are hardly known for their gentle actions -- it's either on or off, so to ...

A team of researchers at the University of Washington has unveiled MilliMobile, a tiny self-driving robot that relies solely on ambient light or radio waves for power. This robot is equipped with a ...
