Microrobots have long promised precision drug delivery inside the human body, but making them practical has remained difficult. Many designs are complex, expensive to manufacture, or hard to control ...

Robotics manufacturer Apptronik announced this week that it has signed a strategic collaboration agreement with design and manufacturing giant Jabil to build, test, and deploy Apptronik’s Apollo ...

Robots are super interesting, but you probably shouldn’t start learning about them with a full-sized industrial SCARA arm or anything. Better to learn with something smaller and simpler to understand.

Robots are everywhere in our imaginations—helping older adults at home, stocking warehouses, cleaning offices, and taking on dangerous jobs that humans shouldn’t have to do. Yet outside of factories ...

Hugging Face and Physical Intelligence have quietly launched Pi0 (Pi-Zero) this week, the first foundational model for robots that translates natural language commands directly into physical actions. ...

Robots are often limited by how they move. Wheels struggle with obstacles, legs require complex joints and control, and propellers add weight and energy demand. Each environment—land, water, confined ...

If you’re designing a robot for a specific purpose, you’re probably ordering fresh parts and going with a clean sheet design. If you’re just building for fun though, you can just go with whatever ...

One of the original stereotypes about robots is that their movements are stiff and abrupt, something that endures in the “robot dance” that first became popular in the 1980s. Robots have since evolved ...

Last month, I read an interesting article published by The New York Times regarding a new generation of robots that employ vision technologies to perform manufacturing tasks more quickly and more ...

In one part of a laboratory in Bristol, UK, scientists are designing a nanoparticle swarm that will be able to target and kill tumour cells intelligently. Interactions between the tiny but simple ...
