In an ominous video titled "Mush, Spot Mush!" posted on YouTube today, robot maker Boston Dynamics showed off ten of its robot dogs hauling a truck.

In a startling demonstration, the machine drew on experimentation, data, and observation of humans to learn how simple implements could help it achieve a task.

With funding from NASA, researchers are exploring how to control inflatable robots for future space missions

Across the United States, small startups and big businesses alike are clamoring to swarm city streets with fleets of autonomous delivery robots. The only problem? Our urban areas aren't necessarily well-equipped to accommodate them

Researchers at a startup devise a new power storage design that far surpasses lithium-ion's limitations.

Attempting to improve Europe’s industrial competitiveness, the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme has funded one of the world’s largest hybrid manufacturing machine, the Large Additive Subtractive Integrated Modular Machine (LASIMM) project, which has recentl

It can be a pain for workers to sort recycling, both because of the safety and the sheer monotony of it. But how do you get robots to do the job when the

NASA's Astrobee project is a fan favorite and represents a new chapter in autonomous space research and exploration.

​Driven into the ground, interlocking metal plates known as sheet piles can keep soil from eroding after rainfall, they can serve as retaining walls on slopes, or perform other functions. Installing them is a laborious process, though, which is why scientists have created a robot to do the job.

Blue’s creators hope the new robot will accelerate the development of robotics for the home

Fears about robots tend to focus on how advanced machines could change, or destroy, human society. One organization, though, is focused on the opposite perspective: How humans could harm robots.

Ai-Da is an ultra-realistic robot, named after the first computer programmer Ada Lovelace. She has a specially developed drawing arm, programmed using artificial intelligence (AI). This enables her to draw portraits and sketches that look similar to human sketches.

MIT researchers show that merging statistical and symbolic artificial intelligence promises to enable computers to reason more like humans. Their hybrid model can learn object-related concepts like color and shape, and leverage that knowledge to interpret complex relationships.

A new automaker confab, teaming with the SAE engineering group, is trying to standardize how autonomous cars should be developed and sold.

For the modern American military, the new frontier of robotic warfare is here. Robots are widespread throughout the branches of the United States military, serving in all manner of key roles - and their usage and their importance to the mission of the services is only growing.

Students at Yorkton Regional High School (YRHS) are working out the bugs with their projects, as they prepare for the robotics competition at Skills Saskatchewan.

Robotics continues to become more of a force in today’s workplaces and homes. Robots make cars, assist police in dangerous situations — and even take room service to hotel guests.
