‘Brainless’ Robots That Move Together are Driven Entirely By Air

Applied Science, Robotics /

Researchers at the University of Oxford have created a new type of soft robot that functions without electronics, motors, or computers, relying solely on air pressure. Published in Advanced Materials, the study demonstrates that these “fluidic robots” can produce complex, rhythmic motions and even synchronize their movements automatically. Professor Antonio Forte (Department of Engineering Science, […]

Improving Physical Intelligence and Safety in Humanoid Robotics

Applied Science, Robotics /

You might not recall it, but you probably had a few spills as a toddler. You weren’t the only one—falling is a normal part of learning to crawl, walk, climb, and jump. During early childhood, our balance, coordination, and motor skills are still developing. These abilities—often called physical intelligence—quickly become second nature for most people,

Scientists Create Synthetic Neurons that Function like Natural ones

Applied Science, Neuroscience /

Engineers at the University of Massachusetts Amherst have created an artificial neuron whose electrical behavior closely mirrors that of natural brain cells. This breakthrough expands on their previous work with protein nanowires derived from electricity-generating bacteria. The technique could one day let computers match the energy efficiency of living systems and connect with biological tissue.
