Engineers at MIT have devised an ingenious new way to produce artificial muscles for soft robots that can flex in more than one direction, similar to the complex muscles in the human body. The team ...

MIT and NVIDIA Research researchers have developed a powerful new algorithm that drastically accelerates how robots plan their actions. Robots may complete intricate, multistep manipulation tasks in ...

Why would you want a robot to see inside a sealed box? Digging deeper beyond the initial creepy thought, a new breakthrough from MIT could soon let warehouse robots do something pretty remarkable.

Daniela Rus has spent her career breaking barriers—scientific, social, and material—in her quest to build machines that amplify rather than replace human capability. She made robotics her life’s work, ...

eSpeaks’ Corey Noles talks with Rob Israch, President of Tipalti, about what it means to lead with Global-First Finance and how companies can build scalable, compliant operations in an increasingly ...

Biohybrid robots that run on real muscle are shifting from science fiction toward workable machines. In labs around the world, engineers have built tiny walkers, swimmers and gripping devices powered ...

Character animation is hard at the best of times. Hollywood and games-industry animators long ago turned away from traditional "keyframe" animation for creating large quantities of realistic character ...

Rodney Brooks said future “humanoid” robots will have wheels and multiple arms.

Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology are calling a new kind of robot they developed the “equivalent of a robotic Swiss Army Knife” because of its multi-function capabilities and ...
