Record-breaking Tiny Robot Offloads Electronics To Fly By Magnetism

Robotics /

Scientists claim to have developed the world’s smallest untethered flying robot, using a unique approach to its design. To minimize size and weight, they moved the robot’s power and control systems out of its sub-centimeter-wide body. Prof. Liwei Lin and his team at the University of California, Berkeley, are developing the robot, which measures just […]

Air-powered Hexapod Robot is 3D-printed in One Soft and Flexible Piece

Robotics, Science /

While most people imagine robots as complex electronic devices, made up of several parts that need to be assembled in factories, a new experimental non-electronic robot has been designed to be 3D-printed in one single piece and is powered entirely by air. The soft-bodied robot was developed by postdoctoral scholar Yichen Zhai and his team,

People in Japan Respect Robots and AI More Than Those in the West Societies

Robotics, Science /

Picture an automated delivery vehicle racing to complete a grocery drop-off as you rush to meet friends for a long-anticipated dinner. You both reach a busy intersection simultaneously. Do you pause to let it navigate the turn, or do you expect it to yield, even if traffic rules suggest it should go first? Navigating a

Engineers Develop a Strong Yet Flexible Robot that Can Screw in a Lightbulb

Robotics, Science /

Screwing in a lightbulb may seem simple, but for robots, it’s a complex task. Researchers at Northeastern University have tackled this challenge by developing a robot that combines flexibility and sensitivity to handle the bulb while generating enough torque to secure it. Jeffrey Lipton, an assistant professor of mechanical and industrial engineering at Northeastern, explains

Boston Dynamics Unveils a Significant Advancement in Humanoid Robot Mobility

Robotics, Science /

Chinese humanoid robots are advancing rapidly with remarkable agility, but Boston Dynamics remains a pioneer in the field. A new video of its swivel-jointed Atlas robot showcases its ability to run, cartwheel, and even breakdance, reaffirming its position at the cutting edge of humanoid mobility. That said, it’s important to note that many companies—such as

From robots to humans, good decisions require diverse perspectives.

Robotics /

When groups make decisions—whether humans, robots, or animals—not all members contribute equally. Some have more reliable information, while others hold greater social influence. A new study from the Cluster of Excellence Science of Intelligence highlights how uncertainty and diversity shape collective decision-making. Published in Scientific Reports, the research by Vito Mengers, Mohsen Raoufi, Oliver Brock,

Most Powerful Non-Hydraulic Robotic Arm Lifts a Ford F-250

Robotics /

Rise Robotics is gearing up to claim a spot in the Guinness Book of World Records with the world’s strongest non-hydraulic robotic arm. For nearly a decade, this record has remained uncontested since the Fanuc M-2000iA/2300 lifted an impressive 5,070 lb (2,300 kg). Now, Rise aims to shatter that benchmark using a surprisingly traditional approach—belts

Flatworm-Inspired Aquatic Robot Propels Itself with a Wiggling Motion

Robotics /

To safely collect data in delicate aquatic environments, researchers have developed a robot that mimics flatworms’ swimming motion. While flatworms usually move along the seabed, they can also propel themselves through water by undulating their bodies. Inspired by this, scientists at Switzerland’s EPFL created a compact, untethered robot that moves effortlessly in any direction across

A New Learning Framework Enables Humanoid Robots to Quickly Recover and Stand Up After Falling

Robotics, Science /

Humanoid robots, designed to resemble the human body, are becoming increasingly capable of efficiently handling diverse tasks in real-world environments. Advances in their control algorithms have led to significant improvements, enabling many to move faster and mimic human-like motions more effectively. Since humanoid robots are designed to walk and run like humans, balancing on two
