Warehouse work is intense, repetitive and physically demanding. Kinisi Robotics, a U.S.-based startup, wants to change that. Its newest innovation, the Kinisi 01, also known as KR1, is a powerful ...

Researchers at The Grainger College of Engineering are developing biohybrid robots, mimicking muscles to better understand ...

It’s a bizarre sight: With a short burst of light, a sponge-shaped robot scoots across a tiled surface. Flipped on its back, it repeatedly twitches as if doing sit-ups. By tinkering with the light’s ...

Fluid robot motion is the result of design choices among five options including pneumatics and strain wave gears.

Future robots could soon have a lot more muscle power. Northwestern University engineers have developed a soft artificial muscle, paving the way for untethered animal- and human-scale robots. The new ...

The next generation of soft robots might be folding and sliding as effortlessly as living tissue, say a team of engineers who have created “magnetic muscles” with 3D printing. Filling elastic, ...

Scientists create self-repairing robotic skin with pain detection and modular magnetic patches. The neuromorphic e-skin ...

Researchers created tough hydrogel artificial tendons, attached them to lab-grown muscle to form a muscle-tendon unit, then linked the tendons to a robotic gripper's fingers. (Nanowerk News) Our ...

We showed you the little lazy-kid-moving RingBo yesterday, and now we have a ludicrous video of it in action. Watch! As an adorable Korean toddler spins aimlessly in circles in a variety of outfits.
