Terra, the first autonomous lawnmower from Roomba-makers iRobot, has arrived and will be ready to hit American yards in 2019.

Researchers from MIT have discovered a way to send highly targeted audio signals directly to someone's ear at a distance using laser beams. The system work

January 30, 2019—Robots that are self-aware have been science fiction fodder for decades, and now we may finally be getting closer. Humans are unique in being able to imagine themselves—to picture themselves in future scenarios, such as walking along the beach on a warm sunny day. Humans can also le...

Self-driving cars are still prone to making mistakes, in part because the AI training can only account for so many situations. Microsoft and MIT might jus

Robotics doesn’t only borrow from biology—sometimes it gives back to it, too. A new flapping-winged robot that mimics the fruit fly has done just that.
