Continuing the wave of extraordinary digital art sales manifested by new blockchain-based NFT technology, an artwork co-created by the famous humanoid robot Sophia has now sold for just under US$700,000.
EV batteries are large and expensive. Nanom thinks it has a solution: a cheaper, longer-lasting cell that can be built right in to the structure of a vehicle.
SEAS engineers are developing robot-powered technology with energy sources that are harvested in the robot’s environment.
MIT researchers have developed a robotic system that uses RF signals and computer vision to grasp objects that are hidden from a camera's view.
Boston Dynamics's new robot Stretch is boring in comparison to the company's previous achievements. But it can be the product that turns the research lab into a profitable company.
The tiny robots were manufactured from the stem cells of frogs and could one day detect diseases, deliver drugs, and clean up radioactive waste.
Multi-contact locomotion helps humans get around tricky environments, and it’s a skill robots are starting to learn
Boston Dynamics has revealed its first robot developed specifically for commercial applications. Named Stretch, the robot has been designed for warehouse work, purpose-built for mobile deployment in existing spaces.

Autonomous vehicles and robots use elaborate suites of sensors and cameras to make sense of their surroundings – but visually-impaired people still get by with canes and guide dogs. Now, engineers have developed a voice-activated wearable system that can track obstacles in real-time and describe a p...
Borrowing yet again from the ingenious design of Mother Nature, scientists at Duke University have created an elegant robotic dragonfly to help detect and diffuse environmental hazards around the
While most of us can't afford to pay a person to patrol our home at night, it would still be nice to know that something was checking up on stuff as we slept. That's where Moorebot's Scout robot is designed to come in.
The ESA is backing a 'hamster ball' robot, DAEDALUS, that would explore Moon caves for signs of water ice and even potential settler sites.
