A group of engineers at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne (EPFL) has developed a four-legged robot dog. The team at EPFL's Computational Robot Design & Fabrication Lab (CREATE), ...

Scientists have created a four-legged bio-inspired robot that climbs like no other. It clings to rough vertical surfaces utilizing a unique mechanism that is highly effective, yet at the same time ...

Biomedical, bio-inspired, and micro robotics focuses on robotic systems that are closely aligned with biological systems. This includes both robotic systems that are human body-mounted and augment ...

A new bio-inspired robot, which employs that same strategy, could one day be used in underground exploration or even search-and-rescue missions. An earthworm's body is made up of individual ...

Researchers at Cornell University on Monday showcased a pair of bio-inspired robotics running on a hydraulic fluid-powered battery. The redox flow battery (RFB) also mimics biological functions, as it ...

Researchers at the Technical University of Darmstadt and the Helmholtz Center Dresden-Rossendorf have developed flexible ...

(Nanowerk News) It is a high-speed movement: within fractions of a second the mouthparts of the dragonfly larvae spring forwards to seize its prey. For decades, researchers had assumed that this ...

The field of paleo-inspired robotics is opening up a new way to turn back time and studying prehistoric animals. Paleontologists aren’t easily deterred by evolutionary dead ends or a sparse fossil ...
