A team led by Northwestern Engineering researchers has developed the first artificial intelligence (AI) to date that can intelligently design robots from scratch. To test the new AI, the researchers ...

A telepresence robot is a machine that interacts with humans to help them to interact with people and their surrounding environment remotely. These robots enable virtual visits at hospitals and ...

Robots are super interesting, but you probably shouldn’t start learning about them with a full-sized industrial SCARA arm or anything. Better to learn with something smaller and simpler to understand.

Since the 1980s, the design and synthesis of molecular machines has been identified as a grand challenge for molecular engineering. Robots are an important type of molecular machine that automatically ...

If you’re designing a robot for a specific purpose, you’re probably ordering fresh parts and going with a clean sheet design. If you’re just building for fun though, you can just go with whatever ...

The rise of robots in automation has led to many humanoid helpers. This can be best seen in collaborative robots (cobots) like Baxter from Rethink Robotics or the UR cobots from Universal Robots. The ...

Researchers at the California Institute of Technology have developed an autonomous molecular machine comprising a single strand of DNA that can move around, collect specific molecules and sort them ...

In the fiercely competitive global robotics industry, design has evolved beyond simple biomimicry. It now deeply integrates generative AI, embodied intelligence, and humanistic values. China, ...
