Imagine a robot that can walk, without electronics, and only with the addition of a cartridge of compressed gas, right off the 3D-printer. It can also be printed in one go, from one material. That is ...

A four-foot-tall machine just completed a grueling autonomous trek in sub-zero temperatures. Here is how this breakthrough could change the future.

Current robots still do not walk as smoothly and naturally as humans. Scientists are using new technologies to make robots more flexible, natural, and lifelike. Actuators are the main force that moves ...

Inventors and researchers have been developing robots for almost 70 years. To date, all the machines they have built – whether for factories or elsewhere – have had one thing in common: they are ...

This robot can walk, without electronics, and only with the addition of a cartridge of compressed gas, right off the 3D-printer. Imagine a robot that can walk, without electronics, and only with the ...
