What just happened? Researchers from King's College London have figured out how to give robots complex instructions without using any electricity at all, not even through batteries. The key is a new ...
Engineers have worked out how to give robots complex instructions without electricity for the first time which could free up more space in the robotic ‘brain’ for them to ‘think’. Mimicking how some ...
A team led by the University of Oxford has developed a new class of soft robots that operate without electronics, motors, or ...
Here’s a scene from the not-too-distant future. In a bright, high-tech operating room, a sleek robotic arm stands poised next to the operating table. The autonomous robot won’t operate completely ...
Swarm Intelligence, inspired by collective behaviors in nature, is now being applied to robotics, enabling multiple humanoid robots to collaborate seamlessly on complex tasks. UBTech's Walker S1 ...
Google is only the latest to fuse large language models with robots. The trend has big implications. This story originally appeared in The Algorithm, our weekly newsletter on AI. To get stories like ...
The big picture: While companies continue to improve robotic hardware, developing AI software to truly bring these machines to life has remained an elusive goal. This is especially disappointing given ...
A crawler robot made with the miura-ori origami pattern. The dark sections are affixed with thin "magnetic muscles" made by co-extruding rubber polymer and ferromagnetic particles, which move the ...
