Flying Robot Transforms Mid-Air to Land and Travel on Wheels

Picture a robot that can seamlessly switch between flying like a drone and driving like a wheeled rover. Such a device could have significant practical applications—assuming it functions reliably in real-world settings. That’s exactly what the ATMO robot was built to achieve, by transforming in mid-air before it lands. Origins and Development at Caltech ATMO,

Robot Is 3D-Printed Upside-Down in One Piece, Then Walks Out of the Printer

Soft-bodied robots offer tremendous potential, but they’re often limited to small-scale, experimental production. A group of researchers from Scotland aims to change that by introducing a 3D-printed soft robot that is fabricated in a single, continuous process—and remarkably, walks off the print bed once complete. It’s not the first instance of a one-piece printed soft

Humanoid Robot Boxing Is Here — and Optimus Should Worry

There’s just something about robots that makes people want to kick them—whether it’s for testing or just for fun. Sure, the kicking serves a technical purpose, but let’s face it, it’s the act itself that’s oddly satisfying. Still, constantly kicking and punching robots is exhausting—not to mention impractical. But it’s 2025 now, and the good

Cyborg Cockroaches Can Now Be Controlled With UV Goggles

This probably wasn’t on your radar for the week. Researchers at Osaka University have developed a method to guide cyborg insects using tiny helmets—without the need for invasive surgeries or internal implants. A Gentler Approach to Insect Control Keisuke Morishima, the lead researcher of the study combining biology and robotics, explained that this new approach
