The system contains a sensor, chip and tiny AI model inspired by biological eyes and brains and uses a tenth of the energy of a camera-based system.

This allows the robot to track its position in real time and even functions as a joystick-like controller for other robotic systems. Tech. Entertainment. Science.

Material efficiency is one of basic challenges for any lab. To improve your lab, simply use less material. This is also ...

The fastest-ever swimming soft robot has been inspired by manta rays. The record-breaking robot has fins shaped like those of a manta ray and is made of a material that is stable when the fins are ...

Researchers have developed a robot that identifies different plant species at various stages of growth by 'touching' their leaves with an electrode. The robot can measure properties such as ...

Harnessing electrical signals made by a king oyster mushroom and its sensitivity to light, researchers engineered biohybrid robots that respond to the environment.

If a robot is being used to gather data in sensitive aquatic environments, it shouldn't have a whirring propeller that could harm wildlife or get caught in weeds. A new bot addresses that issue by ...

“Biohybrid robots” that are part fungi and part computer convert fungal electrical signals into digital commands, a promising advance in building more sustainable robots. SCIENCE Watch this ...

Last week Alpha, the robot, made its first public appearance in the U. S. One of the most ingenious automatons ever contrived by man, a grim and gleaming monster 6 ft. 4 in. tall, the robot was ...

In 2015, Japan opened the world’s first all-robot-run hotel, and called it Henn na (or “Strange”) Hotel. The machine menagerie had a short run before management decided to change up its ...

Long Island-based Standard Bots is building and training robots to think for themselves with artificial intelligence — and it could bring more manufacturing to the US in the process.

Each robot works faster than other comparable inventions, reaching a speed of up to 6.1 cm/s. Moreover, Jellyfish-Bot only requires a low input power of around 100 mW.
