Researchers at the University of Michigan have developed a modular, open-source robot that can ...

What is it about a cheetah's build that enables it to run so fast? What gives the wolf its exceptional endurance? While these questions can be partly answered through animal experiments, many ...

Researchers have been playing around with various oddball forms of robot locomotion; surely, we’ve seen it all, haven’t we? Not so! Lucky for us, [researchers at Stanford] are now showing us a new way ...

Concept: Researchers at the Institut Mines-Télécom Atlantique in Nantes, France, Tohoku University in Japan, and Université de Sherbrooke in Canada have collaborated to build ‘AgnathaX’, a long, ...

image: Researchers at North Carolina State University have demonstrated a caterpillar-like soft robot that can move forward, backward and dip under narrow spaces. The caterpillar-bot’s movement is ...

Building conventional robots typically requires carefully combining components like motors, batteries, actuators, body segments, legs, and wheels. Now, researchers have taken a new approach, building ...

It seems obvious that the way a robot moves would affect how people interact with it, and whether they consider it easy or safe to be near. But what poses and movement types specifically are ...
