Robots will take over Fort Dodge Senior High today. Well, kind of. The FDSH Robotics Club is hosting the FIRST Tech Challenge League Championships today, with 21 other high school robotics teams competing virtually due to the coronavirus pandemic. From FDSH, there will be Team 7332, or Dodger Bot, w...

[James Bruton]’s impressive portfolio of robots has always used conventional rigid components, so he decided to take a bit of a detour and try his hand at a soft robot. Using a couple of few …

We asked ANYbotics, Boston Dynamics, and Clearpath Robotics about irresponsible or unethical use of their robots

Thermoelectric systems are based on technology that leverages differences in temperature to generate electricity, and we’ve seen how this approach can be applied to the world’s tiniest refrigerator, cooking pots that power smartphones and even thermoelectric paint. A new example from scientists at t...

Dr. Robert Carey, a urologist at the Sarasota Memorial Hospital, is being honored for doing more than 2,000 life-saving prostate cancer removal surgeries all by using a robot.

Collaborative Mobile Robots are one of the most important hits of Industry 4.0, where robots and humans operate together, each one providing its own particular strengths and complementing each othe…

Training AI agents via gameplay could yield a more flexible and general intelligence

NASA released footage of the Mars Perseverance Rover's final descent and landing. This is the first ever video of a rover landing on Mars.

Although it's getting more common to see swarms of illuminated drones being used for aerial light shows, simultaneously charging and launching all of those aircraft can still be tricky. That's where the Flying Drone Blanket is intended to come in.

When scientists wish to gather oceanographic data over long distances – but without disturbing marine life – autonomous "underwater gliders" are often used. A new one is claimed to be highly maneuverable, yet it has no external propulsion or steering systems.

Generally speaking, the term robot designates some type of large mechanical metal monstrosity designed to fulfill whatever task humans need fulfilling. But there other types of robots out there, and they are even spookier.

Roboticists and engineers are searching for new ways to create machines that might help repair, maintain or inspect the undersea components of the growing offshore industry.

Advances in robotics — in size, vision, artificial intelligence — help them progress further upstream in bakeries.

When people ask me which robotics categories are poised for the biggest growth, I often point to agriculture. The technology already has a strong foothold in places like warehouse and logistics, but it’s impossible to look at the American – and global – farming community and not see a lot of potenti...
