A team led by Northwestern Engineering researchers has developed the first artificial intelligence (AI) to date that can intelligently design robots from scratch. To test the new AI, the researchers ...

The traditional model of robotic design has long demanded extensive knowledge in engineering, AI systems, and hardware integration. Often protracted and resource-intensive, the process historically ...

In the video released by Figure—a company founded by Brett Adcock with the financial backing of OpenAI, Nvidia, Microsoft, Intel, and Jeff Bezos—a robot who doesn’t have AGI or human appearance makes ...

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.

If you’re designing a robot for a specific purpose, you’re probably ordering fresh parts and going with a clean sheet design. If you’re just building for fun though, you can just go with whatever ...

Researchers took inspiration from ants to design a team of relatively simple robots that can work collectively to perform complex tasks using only a few basic parameters. Individual ants are ...

Five young innovators impressed global judges with their functional litter-collecting robot, securing first place after ...

Individual ants are relatively simple creatures and yet a colony of ants can perform really complex tasks, such as intricate construction, foraging and defense. Recently, Harvard researchers took ...
