Although they're constantly improving, robots aren't necessarily known for their gentle touch. A new robotic system from MIT ...

Researchers working in the field of soft robotics hope to bring about a new generation of machines that are far safer for humans to work with, and one way they hope to do that is through supple, ...

There is also a dance studio, complete with a wood floor and large mirrors. Here scientists record the movements of human ...

MIT researchers built an AI robotic system that turns plain-language prompts into 3D designs and assembles objects with ...

Korean researchers have developed an advanced soft robot, OCTOID, inspired by the multifunctional abilities of octopuses. Leveraging cholesteric liquid crystal elastomers (CLCEs), OCTOID combines ...

But shape-shifting robots, which are controlled by magnetic fields, can dynamically squish, bend, or elongate their entire bodies. "Such a robot could have thousands of small pieces of muscle to ...

Packing a full-sized robot for space travel could pose a bit of a challenge as rockets headed to the Moon, or maybe even Mars, might be a little cramped. The solution: a modular robot that can be ...

Virtual reality headsets today use your eyes and ears to make simulated experiences seem more real, but what about your other senses? Researchers at Stanford University have come up with a way for ...

Imagine a coffee cup sitting on a table. Now, imagine a book partially obscuring the cup. As humans, we still know what the coffee cup is even though we can't see all of it. But a robot might be ...

One of the most significant insights from the study is that roboticists must engage both technically and physically with ...
