Coordinating groups of underwater robots is difficult because communication below the surface is slow and unreliable. GPS ...

Locomotive magnetic soft robots are categorized based on their structural characteristics into one-dimensional (1D), two-dimensional (2D), three-dimensional (3D), and fluidic types. Recently, Dr.

A team of researchers at Amazon Frontier AI & Robotics (FAR) and the University ...

Researchers at the University of Michigan’s Robotics Department and the Southern University of Science and Technology in China published a research paper discussing the use of discrete-time hybrid ...

Although soft-bodied robots themselves can be fairly simple, low-cost devices, they typically require complex onboard electronics to control their locomotion. Such is not the case with a new bot, ...

Underwater robots face many challenges, not least of which is how to move around. ZodiAq is a prototype underwater soft robot (link is to research paper) that takes an unusual approach to this problem ...

A hopping, insect-sized robot can jump over gaps or obstacles, traverse rough, slippery, or slanted surfaces, and perform aerial acrobatic maneuvers, while using a fraction of the energy required for ...

A real-time control system that sharply improves humanoid robot balance, accelerating reliable deployment in industrial and electronics-driven environments.
