Scientists have discovered how to build robots out of rice paper, opening up brand new possibilities for robotic applications. A team from the University of Bristol discovered that the same ingredient ...

Figure’s founder Brett Adcock says a new partnership with OpenAI could help its robots hold conversation and learn from its mistakes over time. By Mack DeGeurin Published Feb 29, 2024 8:00 AM EST Get ...

Scientists have developed HydroSpread, a novel technique for building soft robots on water, with wide-ranging possibilities in robotics, healthcare, and environmental monitoring. Picture a miniature ...

Scientists have created soft robots able to walk straight out of the machines which made them. The flexible, four-legged devices were developed using a new 3D printing system with an innovative method ...

We’ve recently seen humanoid robots that can cartwheel, kung-fu kick, and front flip, but such attention-grabbing stunts aren’t the goal of California-based Figure AI. Instead, its team of roboticists ...

Using paper coated with silicon resin and iron particles, researchers created an untethered soft robot that can move without any electronics. This magnetically controlled device can detect heavy metal ...

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 ...
