While scientists have already created tight-space-exploring robots based on snakes and cockroaches, rats are also highly adept at squeezing through narrow openings and traversing uneven terrain. They ...

A robotic rat on wheels has learned how to interact with real rats while mimicking the rodents’ play and fight behaviours. “[The] robotic rats have similar appearances and movements to animals, and ...

The next time you find yourself trapped under a pile of rubble, your savior might be a Roomba — souped-up with whiskers and a monkey brain. Such a robot was recently shown to outperform other ...

Legged robots are very promising for use in real-world applications, but their operation in narrow spaces is still challenging. Large quadruped robots like BigDog and ANYmal have shown excellent ...

This biomimetic robotic rat equipped with a miniature vision perception system has 9 active degrees of freedom. Based on its agile rat-like motion, the robot can interact autonomously with actual rats ...
