Taught by Ann M. Viano, an assistant professor of physics at Rhodes College, and Val D. Valgardson, an assistant professor of art, “Introduction to Robotics” introduces would-be artists to physics and ...

Soft robots that run on air instead of electricity are starting to behave less like simple inflatable toys and more like ...

Engineers have found a way to shepherd microrobots with no wires, no radios, and no onboard computers. Instead, they steer them with light patterns designed using the same math physicists use to ...

Robots that move, sense and even coordinate with one another usually bring to mind tangled wires, circuit boards and humming ...

Everywhere we move - whether on the land, air, or water - we always push against something. Physicists believe this is constant on Earth due to the concept of conservation of momentum up until ...

Each robot costs only a single penny to manufacture. The robots could help advance everything from nanotechnology ...

The robot is hard to see without a microscope. It’s small enough to rest on the ridge of a fingerprint and can operate in ...

TARS Robotics’ humanoid robot demonstrated the skill of stitching a logo with both hands at a recent live event, achieving a ...

The pink strip lies flat on a black-and-white checkerboard surface. It's rubbery—gummy, almost—and just thicker than an unrolled fruit leather snack. At a glance, the strip seems unremarkable.

From the land of Nowhere comes Jason Bohn/ He talks too much because his mind is gone/ He sports a couple really lame tattoos/ And the most used button on his alarm is "snooze." (With apologies to ...

Although robotic devices are used in everything from assembly lines to medicine, engineers have a hard time accounting for the friction that occurs when those robots grip objects - particularly in wet ...
