Speedcubers can solve a rubik's cube in under a minute, with world-class competitors often doing it in less than 10 seconds. But how fast can a robot do it?

Imagine you want to iterate on a shock-absorbing structure design in plastic. You might design something in CAD, print it, then test it on a rig. You’ll then note down your measurements, and …

Images started showing up in Russian social media channels this month of what appears to be a damaged THeMIS unmanned ground vehicle.

A recent study in Robotics introduced an intelligent hybrid task planner for multi-robot disassembly of electric vehicle (EV) lithium-ion batteries. This system, tested with various trajectory-planning algorithms, demonstrated efficient and adaptable collaboration between robots, streamlining the ba...

In 2024, Capra Robotics introduced the Capra Hircus, an unique autonomous mobile robot (AMR) designed to navigate challenging terrain with ease.

A new snail-based sliding suction method improves climbing robot journeys. What uses could it find in the wider world?

The market has been eagerly awaiting, but the time has finally come. The first ten harvest robots, diligently developed by Certhon and DENSO, are ready to enter the greenhouse. They will be…

The Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter is helping make its fellow NASA space traveler, the InSight Lander, useful with its photos of the 'dead' robot.

Build, weigh, crush, measure, discard, redesign, repeat. All day, all night, never stopping. Boston College's autonomous AI robot MAMA BEAR has struck gold after three years and 25,000 attempts, with the world's most impact-resistant shape.

With restrictions on Palestinian workers coming to Israel for employment and the reluctance of foreign workers to go during a war.

In what sounds more like the opening scene from a B-grade sci-fi/horror flick, head transplant operations performed entirely by robotic surgeons could be coming to a hospital near you within a decade, if startup BrainBridge is to be believed.

Microbots that self-assemble into planar swarms can catch free-swimming microbes

Scientists have replicated the ingenious seed-delivery system used by wild oats, resulting in a seed-carrying bio-hybrid "robot." Scores of the tiny devices could one day be utilized for much easier, more effective aerial seeding of crops or even new forests.

They may be in the same category of exchange-traded funds, but not all artificial intelligence ETFs are the same.

In recent years, the market for field-deployed robotics has seen significant growth, mainly due to the advances in sensor technology, processing capabilities, and hardware efficiency.

New “Wall-E”-style security robots choosing a non-threatening appearance – but they still come with a strong surveillance function.

An autonomous robot created a shock-absorbing shape no human ever could. Learn what it means for designing safer helmets, packaging, car bumpers, and more. Within the confines of a lab in Boston University’s College of Engineering, a robot arm drops small, plastic objects into a box precisely pla

Yes, your editor can tell that your copy is AI generated. Here are signs to look out for and tips to nix the robot from your writing.

Using more robots to close labor gaps in the hospitality industry may backfire and cause more human workers to quit, according to a WSU study.

Researchers developed a cost-effective robotic camera system to capture images of greenhouse plants, enhancing plant growth monitoring and data analysis for precision agriculture. The system demonstrated high accuracy in plant identification, movement, and image quality, showcasing its potential to ...

A robotic system that paints local athletic fields is making the activity less time consuming and labor intensive.

One of the largest migrations on Earth happens in the dark ocean every night, as tiny jelly-like organisms work together to emerge from the deep sea to the surface. Biologists think the oceanic migration could inspire future robotic technology.

Starting in August, consumers placing delivery orders in Seongnam, Gyeonggi Province, might encounter robots waiting at their doors with the packages they purchased.
