At their core, all robots work by integrating sensors, controllers, actuators, and software. Each part plays a vital role in transforming a machine into a responsive, purposeful system.

To create an intelligent robot, the team first needs to engineer body feedback systems, including adding more sensors in the arms to detect how much the limbs have extended or contracted.

Another step toward more lovable robots: a new type of sensor might enable us to poke a robot as if it had the squishy belly button of the Pillsbury Dough boy.

Using arm sensors that can “read” a person’s muscle movements, researchers have created a control system that makes robots more intelligent. The sensors send information to the robot ...

Scientists have to build sensors that are tough, that can survive impact and abrasion and bending and water. It’s one reason physical intelligence has advanced so slowly, he says.

A team in Florida has created a walking robot with a twist: It needs no computer or sensors to move around. Rather, the Planar Elliptical Runner (PER) relies solely on its design to maintain its ...
