Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang believes humanoid robots are less than five years away from seeing wide use in manufacturing ...

The robot has a small DC gearmotor driving each belt so it can be driven forwards, backwards, and steered differentially. To perceive the world, it uses an off-the-shelf ultrasonic transceiver ...

Springtails, small bugs often found crawling through leaf litter and garden soil, are expert jumpers. Inspired by these hopping hexapods, roboticists have made a walking, jumping robot that pushes ...

Applying this knowledge to robotics, the team developed a system of small robots that can work together to change shape and strength. Each robotic unit is equipped with eight electrically powered ...

Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) have made a walking, jumping robot that pushes the boundaries of what small robots can do. Published in Science Robotics, the research ...

Researchers have developed small robots that can work together as a collective that changes shape and even shifts between solid and “fluid-like” states — a concept that should be familiar to ...

Harvard researchers have developed a small, agile robot capable of walking and jumping, inspired by hopping hexapods like springtails. The innovation showcases microrobots that can navigate tight ...
