Bay Area startup Roam Robotics has a less intensive and expensive means of getting folks with mobility issues back on their feet.

Although there are rigs that allow gamers to walk on the spot while their avatar walks in a VR environment, such setups tend to be large and complex. A new system, however, simulates walking simply by buzzing the seated user's feet.

Whether you're a farmer tending to expansive crops that you depend on for your livelihood or a hobbyist gardener trying to keep your tomatoes in check, weeds can be a time-consuming and relentless problem. Startup Carbon Robotics has wheeled out an autonomous machine that has these pesky plants in i...

German drone maker Wingcopter has today introduced a new generation model, the Wingcopter 198. This all-electric tilt-rotor vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) fixed-wing drone is capable of delivering three packages to multiple locations during one flight.

Envision Group uveiled the first mobile EV charging robot powered by 100% green electricity.

Mashable is a global, multi-platform media and entertainment company.

Like many industries across the world, Australia's fruit-picking sector has been impacted heavily by the COVID-19 pandemic, creating a massive void in the labor market that would normally be filled by backpackers looking to make buck on the road. Local researchers have cooked up a creative partial s...

Guide dogs, dogs that are trained to help humans move through their environments, have played a critical role in society for many decades. These highly trained animals, in fact, have proved to be valuable ...

Training patients to use muscle electrodes for robotic limb control works better than previously thought possible

Robots made to serve as personal assistants are improving all the time, but the reasoning behind their decision-making is still something of a mystery to the everyday user. In an effort to improve communications between humans and their robotic counterparts, scientists in Italy have demonstrated the...

Small consumer-grade drones offer some pretty frightening opportunities for terrorists; indeed, while they've been used in some assassination attempts, and explored by ISIL as a way to remotely attack opponents in Syria, it's really quite remarkable that we haven't seen a lot more of it.

A Chinese space mining start-up launched into low Earth orbit on Tuesday a robot prototype that can scoop up debris left behind by other spacecraft with a big net.

Ecoppia's water-free robotic cleaning technology performs fully automated nightly cleaning of solar modules to ensure peak performance year round

Roboticists from UC Berkeley have taught their bipedal robot Cassie how to walk through campus using child-like reinforcement learning instead of strict models.

You can lead a virtual robot to a refrigerator, but you can’t make it pull out a drink. This is the problem that a new robotic agent is designed to address.

That thing I said the other week about robotics SPACs being relatively few and far between is becoming less and less true. It’s like someone walked down to the local robotics club, explained the admittedly somewhat convoluted methods around robotics mergers and the rest of the industry decided that ...

Anyone with children knows that while controlling one child can be hard, controlling many at once can be nearly impossible. Getting swarms of robots to work collectively can be equally challenging, unless ...

The ANYmal walking robot has been around for a few years now, and even got some wheels last year. Now Switzerland's ANYbotics has announced a new fully autonomous four-legged robot coupled with inspection analytics software for complete end-to-end inspection of energy and industrial processing plant...

A team of researchers working at Barcelona Institute of Science and Technology has developed a skeletal-muscle-based, biohybrid soft robot that can swim faster than other skeletal-muscle-based biobots. ...

Trexo Robotics created a robot aid that helps children walk. The system moves your legs and feet to imitate the walking movement. When the bottom of the feet makes contact with the surface of the ground friction occurs and movement is made. Trexo Robotics is aiming to allow people to play sports wit...

The black curtain pulls aside and a character straight out of the movies waves hello. This is not an uncommon occurrence when I’m around Imagineers, but this time is special. The character isn’t a costume, it’s a robot. And, unlike the m​any animatronic figures you’ve seen in the parks, it’s not stu...

Robots are learning how not to fall over after stepping on your foot and kicking you in the shin.
