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

A new study out of MIT has created an autonomously functioning robot that can act like a lab technician to test materials, in particular for the properties needed to make solar cells. It can collect ...

CALLAHAN COUNTY — The idea for a “solar robot” started several years ago as a sketch on a cocktail napkin in a hotel lobby. Fast forward to mid-April and Rosendin Electric Senior Vice President David ...

The newest frontier in robotics is almost invisible to the naked eye. Researchers have built a robot smaller than a grain of salt that can not only move through its environment but also sense what is ...

Bill Hogan’s brother Dan holds the tether for a climber test run. A team of four students from the Baskin School of Engineering at UC Santa Cruz won the first-place trophy in a national student ...

Forward-looking: A new chapter in materials science is unfolding at MIT, where researchers have developed a fully autonomous robotic system designed to accelerate the search for advanced ...

A research team from Jilin University has developed a solar-powered floating robot that purifies water and autonomously navigates on its surface, offering a new strategy for smart, energy-free water ...

A microrobot can operate independently in liquids for months. The development effort was high, but the costs for the robot ...

Perhaps in order to simulate winter in New Hampshire, Dartmouth engineers recently traveled to Greenland (the icy one, as opposed to Iceland, the green one) to test a solar-powered robot. When the ...
