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, ...

Folding success is often scored using a method called Intersection over Union (IoU), which measures how fully the upper half ...

Researchers have created a new class of robots that can shift between solid and liquid forms on demand. In a series of tests, these new bots could change shape to run obstacle courses, carry objects, ...

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

robot revolution AI Over 500 years later, an MIT team has recreated the design with a model and have showed that it would ...

Over the past decades, roboticists have introduced a wide range of advanced systems that can move around in their ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Training robots how to grasp various objects without dropping them usually requires a lot of practice. But a new robot, designed by researchers at UC Berkeley and Siemens and described in an upcoming ...

Kitchen robots are a popular vision of the future, but if a robot of today tries to grasp a kitchen staple such as a clear measuring cup or a shiny knife, it likely won't be able to. Transparent and ...
