In this paper, we propose NeRD (Neural Robot Dynamics), learned robot-specific dynamics models for predicting future states for articulated rigid bodies under contact constraints. NeRD uniquely ...

The AION robot walks and moves like a real human, showcasing some of the most advanced humanoid robotics today. With a price tag of $150K, it’s designed for research, entertainment, and high-end tech ...

Engineers tested a four-legged robot in a simulated microgravity environment to study how robots might move and recover in space. The results show just how challenging weightlessness can be for ...

Abstract: As an innovative robotic configuration, the WheelLegged Biped Robot (WBR) combines the fast mobility of wheeled systems with the active suspension capability of legged structures. To enable ...

Abstract: This paper presents an algorithm to improve state estimation for legged robots. Among existing model-based state estimation methods for legged robots, the contact-aided invariant extended ...

I always tell people that the best thing I’ve ever tested for my job here on the WIRED Reviews team is my automatic litter box from Litter-Robot. I recommend every cat owner invest in an automatic ...

Roborock showed off the Saros 20 series at CES 2026. It has a record-breaking 35,000 Pa suction and can climb obstacles up to 3.3 inches high. The Saros 20 Sonic has a mop that can be extended to ...

Not everybody agrees that replicating the four-limbed, bipedal shape of a human should be replicated in robot form. For one, walking with two feet is inherently less stable than four, nevermind a set ...

What was announced as a 2050 pipe dream by Kawasaki, the company's hydrogen-powered, four-hooved, all-terrain robot horse vehicle Corleo is actually going into production and is now expected to be ...
