Robots are super interesting, but you probably shouldn’t start learning about them with a full-sized industrial SCARA arm or anything. Better to learn with something smaller and simpler to understand.

Engineers at Northwestern University have created a new kind of robot that can adapt, recover from damage, and keep moving even after being broken apart. The machines, called “legged metamachines,” ...

A decade ago, the “next big thing” in technology was the invention of mobile applications and cloud computing. Today, it is easy to feel whiplash.

If you’re designing a robot for a specific purpose, you’re probably ordering fresh parts and going with a clean sheet design. If you’re just building for fun though, you can just go with whatever ...

Robots typically excel at structured, repeatable tasks such as welding body panels together for cars or painting those vehicles. They've long struggled with more variable, less-structured work such as ...

To anchor the long rows of server racks that power the artificial intelligence boom, every data center needs thousands of holes drilled into its concrete floor. It’s a precise part of the construction ...

In what might be one of the most underappreciated technological breakthroughs of our time, Alphabet's Google DeepMind has accomplished something deceptively difficult -- teaching a robot to tie ...

Insect-scale legged robots have become increasingly capable in recent years but are still severely limited in terms of onboard resources for computation and power. On the other hand, simple models for ...

California's Clone Robotics has just posted a video of its full-body Protoclone humanoid robot, and well … it's a wee bit creepy. The prototype's less disturbing Clone descendants, however, could one ...

The ten most valuable tech firms in the world are all involved in developing technology for the robotics industry. The next big thing in the technology industry appears to be consumer robotics and ...
