Scientists are building autonomous robotic labs powered by artificial intelligence. The goal, they say, is for these robots ...

Thanks to new technologies like artificial intelligence, scientists are increasingly freed from the constraints of the laboratory. It raises questions about how much humans should outsource to robots.

Orbit Robotics built Helios, a four-armed robot designed for zero gravity that grips and braces inside spacecraft while ...

Researchers argue that the problem that has been lurking in the margins of many papers about touch sensors lies in the robotic skin itself. Researchers at Northwestern University and Israel's Tel Aviv ...

Say hello to Argus, a 20-legged, blob-looking robot capable of seeing in all directions at the same time and able to move ...

How does a robotic arm or a prosthetic hand learn a complex task like grasping and rotating a ball? Researchers address the classic 'nature versus nurture' question. The research demonstrates that the ...

Researchers in the the labs of Ron Alterovitz, a Lawrence Grossberg Distinguished Professor in the Department of Computer Science, and Jim Cahoon, a professor and chair of the Department of Chemistry, ...

Retinal vein occlusion (RVO) is a severe disease that occurs when a vein in the light-sensitive layer at the back of the eye (i.e., the retina) becomes blocked, which results in a loss of vision.

A robotic rat learned how to befriend real rats using AI. The wheeled rat was designed to provide companionship for lab rats, which can live pretty secluded and lonely lives. The robots have movements ...

In a break from tradition, Kawasaki, a Japanese motorcycle maker, has announced plans to build a new breed of off-road machine shaped like a robotic horse. Corleo, as the machine is called, has a body ...

Robotics combines computer science, engineering, and technology to design, construct, and utilize machines that are programmed to replicate or substitute human actions and decision-making. These ...
