A bioinspired robot can change shape to alter its own physical properties in response to its environment, resulting in a robust and efficient autonomous vehicle as well as a fresh approach to robotic ...

Researchers have unveiled the Swarm Garden, a breakthrough in “living” architecture. By linking dozens of tiny, flower-like robots into a communicating swarm, they’ve created a surface that behaves ...

Most living organisms easily surpass machines when it comes to navigating real-world environments and adaptability to changing conditions. One way to bridge that gap is building biohybrid robots that ...

Current robots are severely limited in their intelligence by the constraints inherent in rigid electronic hardware frameworks ...

An international team has explored how in future aerial robots could process construction materials precisely in the air -- an approach with great potential for difficult-to-access locations or work ...
