(Nanowerk News) For decades, scientists have envisioned a future where nimble robots could traverse rugged terrain and squeeze into tight spaces, ideal for search and rescue missions, industrial ...

Machines already think faster than we can with our squishy brains. But moving around is still a tough one for robots. Some machines can roll, walk, and even run, though they need a lot of power and ...

A team led by the University of Oxford has developed a new class of soft robots that operate without electronics, motors, or ...

A crawling robot whose actuators passively synchronize moving forward and is able to sense the end of the terrain, preventing falling off and damage. The robot actuators, sensor, and safety switch are ...

A group of Tufts researchers working on building a new type of robot is looking for help from an unusual source: caterpillars. The goal of the project, led by Professor Barry Trimmer, is to build the ...

Insect-scale robots can squeeze into places their larger counterparts can't, like deep into a collapsed building to search for survivors after an earthquake. However, as they move through the rubble, ...
