A muscle from the slug's mouth helps the robot move, which is currently controlled by an external electrical field. Future iterations of the device will include ganglia – bundles of neurons and nerves ...

China's ultra-fast, industrial-scale 3D printing firm is scaling flexible materials from shoes to humanoid robotics.

While biohybrid robots that crawl and swim have been built before with lab-grown muscle, this is the first such bipedal robot that can pivot and make sharp turns. It does this by applying electricity ...

Engineers in Japan have unveiled an unusual four-legged robot that moves with a smooth, animal-like gait rarely seen in ...

From expressive robot faces to factory deployments, these seven stories shaped how 2025 will be remembered in humanoid ...

Researchers at the University of Tokyo have created a two-legged biohybrid robot, combining an artificial skeleton with biological muscle, which is capable of walking and pivoting underwater. Typical ...

This sped-up video of the robot underwater shows the legs walking forward, with the muscle contractions being stimulated by electricity. Researchers at the University of Tokyo have created a ...

Researchers are using the human body as inspiration in the next generation of robots. It's like anatomy, but electronic. Electro-hydraulic muscles are more energy efficient than motor driven robots.

The world’s smallest fully programmable, autonomous robots have debuted at the University of Pennsylvania, sporting a brain ...

“Research on biohybrid robots, which are a fusion of biology and mechanics, is recently attracting attention as a new field of robotics featuring biological function,” says corresponding author Shoji ...

Compared to robots, human bodies are flexible, capable of fine movements, and can convert energy efficiently into movement. Drawing inspiration from human gait, researchers from Japan crafted a ...

France-based InBolt, which has operations in Detroit, has launched its next-generation bin-picking solution, an AI-enhanced ...
