Engineers at EPFL have developed a programmable foam lattice that blends softness and rigidity across a robot’s body. Inspired by the musculoskeletal system of animals, the new design enables robots ...

Traditional robot bodies "are still monolithic, unadaptive, and unrecyclable," said paper author and mechanical engineer Hod ...

As per the study, these robots could “absorb and reuse parts,” not from a factory, but from their environment or even from other robots.

Today's robots are stuck—their bodies are usually closed systems that can neither grow nor self-repair, nor adapt to their ...

A cheetah's powerful sprint, a snake's lithe slither, or a human's deft grasp: Each is made possible by the seamless ...

YOLO can mean many things, but in the context of [be_riddickulous]’s AI Talking Robot Dinosaur it refers to the “You Only Look Once” YOLOv11 object-detection algorithm by Ultralyt… ...

A new type of soft robot can crawl like a worm, climb cables, and suddenly snap into a completely different shape to move in a new direction—all controlled by a single air input. This ...

Dive into the world of underwater exploration, and you’ll find a new player making waves: HERO-BLUE. This isn’t your average remotely operated vehicle (ROV); it’s an innovative robot ...

Research robots could potentially use this kind of camo to observe animals without detection, but the other very obvious application is related to the military.
