In its decades-long quest to mimic life, robotics has never had much trouble duplicating its brute force. Machines have long been capable of moving vehicles, assembling chips, and reaching the far ...

Engineers at MIT have devised an ingenious new way to produce artificial muscles for soft robots that can flex in more than one direction, similar to the complex muscles in the human body. The team ...

Moving with the speed and agility of an insect, the tiny robot could someday assist in search-and-rescue missions.

Daniela Rus has spent her career breaking barriers—scientific, social, and material—in her quest to build machines that amplify rather than replace human capability. She made robotics her life’s work, ...

From a billion miles away, Earth appears as nothing more than a pale blue speck of dust, seen only through a shaft of sunlight. "Look again at that dot," Carl Sagan wrote. "That's here. That's home.

Researchers at MIT have an AI-powered system that automatically creates realistic 3D indoor environments ...

MIT researchers have developed a new technique that could help robots move faster, smoother, ...

As technology improves, researchers slowly bridge the gap between prosthetics and human limbs: Scientists have developed a prosthetic hand that lets users feel temperatures and bionic legs that move ...

Australia's top researchers in robotics and machine intelligence have forged a research relationship with the world-leading MIT Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory in the USA.
