Different insects flap their wings in different manners. Understanding the variations between these modes of flight may help scientists design better and more efficient flying robots in the future.

Robots of the future will look nothing like R2D2 in Star Wars, but resemble computer chips embedded in everyday appliances, such as vacuum cleaners and cell phones, if companies like Evolution ...

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

Researchers developed the first AI to date that can intelligently design robots from scratch by compressing billions of years of evolution into mere seconds. It's not only fast but also runs on a ...

It's time to take your laptop out for a little spin. Evolution Robotics announced Tuesday that it has begun selling the ER1, a kit that turns an average laptop into a rolling, seeing robot. First ...

Evolution is a very slow process, due largely to the fact that nature doesn't "know" in advance which features of an animal will be beneficial. A new AI-based algorithm does know, however, allowing it ...

The just-issued World Robotics Report announced an all-time high of 517,385 new industrial robots installed in 2021 in factories around the world, representing 31% year-on-year growth. That brought ...
