Iman Soltani is developing active vision technology that would allow robots to change their line of sight and viewpoint to complete tasks instead of relying on multiple cameras. Here, Soltani (left) ...

Today's robots are stuck—their bodies are usually closed systems that can neither grow nor self-repair, nor adapt to their environment. Now, scientists at Columbia University have developed robots ...

Some joint-design considerations are universal; others vary with the assembly methods used. Each joining technique has particular design requirements, while certain joint requirements may suggest a ...

To solve this, researchers at Generalist strapped wearable pincers, dubbed “data hands,” onto human workers. These devices ...

Machine vision as a category is growing rapidly; the 3D machine vision market is expected to double in size during the next six years, and today, the technology is a vital component of most modern ...

A Chinese factory is producing humanoid robots every 30 minutes, marking a shift toward large-scale manufacturing and broader ...

We need to start thinking of robots as a modern tool that we can optimally design for specific use cases rather than a panacea to solve every challenge.

A paper crane that flaps its wings without a single motor inside it sounds like a magic trick. But engineers at Princeton ...

A bipedal robot made from an artificial skeleton and biological muscle is able to walk and pivot when stimulated with electricity, allowing it to carry out finer movements than previous biohybrid ...
