Humans didn't design these robots; they were “evolved” inside a computer. The results are strange, wildly flipping spider-like machines – and that's exactly what the researchers were hoping for. If ...

New research helps robots combine language and gestures to find objects in cluttered spaces, improving how they understand human intent.

Sebastian Thrun led his Stanford team to victory in the DARPA robot-car race. How long will it be till we see such cars on the street? In a software-driven world, it's easy to forget about the nuts ...

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.

X-Humanoid, a Chinese robotics developer, says it connected its “Embodied Tien Kung” humanoid robot to a low-Earth-orbit satellite and used that link to carry out an autonomous delivery task. The ...

A new tomato-picking robot is learning to think before it acts. Instead of simply identifying ripe fruit, it predicts how easy each tomato will be to harvest and adjusts its approach accordingly. This ...

Insect-scale legged robots have become increasingly capable in recent years but are still severely limited in terms of onboard resources for computation and power. On the other hand, simple models for ...
