Engineers at the University of Oxford have developed a remarkably simple and inexpensive way to build soft robots. Using common laboratory tools and low-cost materials, the new method allows ...

Robots are everywhere in our imaginations—helping older adults at home, stocking warehouses, cleaning offices, and taking on dangerous jobs that humans shouldn’t have to do. Yet outside of factories ...

In a small classroom in Aligarh, waste materials are turning into machines. A government school teacher is guiding students to build simple robots and drones using scrap, helping them understand ...

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.

Tired of watching cool robotics projects online and feeling like they’re out of your reach? You’re not alone. Many enthusiasts face the challenge of turning their tech dreams into reality. But what if ...

Your average 3D printer is just a nozzle shooting out hot plastic while being moved around by a precise robotic mechanism. There’s nothing stopping you replacing the robot and moving around the ...

Just like bees, the individual robots in this simulation have no master plan. Simply by responding to local cues, they are able to construct honeycomb-like structures. The method could presage a new ...

The challenges, such as opening a door with a round doorknob, started out easy, at least for a human, and progressed to “gold ...

Microrobots have long promised precision drug delivery inside the human body, but making them practical has remained difficult. Many designs are complex, expensive to manufacture, or hard to control ...

A research team from the Robotics and AI Institute (RAI) has developed a two-wheeled, bicycle-like robot platform called the Ultra Mobility Vehicle (UMV) that can jump over obstacles even at high ...
