When it comes to developing robots that can move efficiently through water, scientists regularly turn to creature’s like squid and jellyfish for inspiration, and a UK research team has just produced ...

Swarm robotics design follows the behavior of insects operating in a group, such as ants and bees. Autonomous robots need to be aware of their power system, especially regarding battery life. Power ...

DARPA has been sponsoring all sorts of robotics challenges, including the Robotics Challenge course where the robots are supposed to do things that a human would normally do in an emergency. That ...

A Minnesota-based glazing firm is using a robotic system to install high-rise glass panel bracket. Harmon is installing the latest technology with the help of Raise Robotics and Universal Robots. For ...

Though best known for their speed, cheetahs are also remarkably efficient runners, making them animals of interest for roboticists who want to replicate that energy efficiency in their machines. Five ...

Imagine a future where the hum of lawn mowers and the rustle of leaves being raked are sounds of the past, replaced by quiet and efficient robots. With the invention of Electric Sheep Robotics’ Verdie ...

SRI International just revealed DURUS, a robot 20 to 30 times more efficient than ATLAS. Efficiency, in this case, is measured in cost of transport. DURUS displayed a cost of transport of 1.2 at the ...

In the same way that teams of people have to spend time getting to know each other, researchers at MIT believe that robots and humans have exactly the same issues. As robotic technology becomes more ...

How snails think about eating could inform future robot decision-making designs. University of Sussex researchers have discovered that the creatures use just two brain cells for complex decisions: one ...

Getting robots to carry out repetitive tasks precisely and untiringly is relatively easy. Getting them to do it in the most efficient way possible is another thing entirely. Unai Ugalde-Olea, lecturer ...

You don't have to worry about robots rising up against humanity anytime soon -- the bipedal ones, at least. When they aren't constantly falling down, two-legged robots are running down their power ...
