Mobile robot algorithms and coordination have emerged as a central discipline in robotics research, combining computational theory, distributed algorithms, and systems engineering. These algorithms ...

A new robot has overcome a fundamental challenge of locomotion by teaching itself how to walk. Researchers from Google developed algorithms that helped the four-legged bot to learn how to walk across ...

Northwestern University engineers have developed the first modular robots with athletic intelligence. They can be combined and recombined in the wild, recover from injury and keep moving no matter ...

Researchers developed a deep learning neural network to aid the design of soft-bodied robots. The algorithm optimizes the arrangement of sensors on the robot, enabling it to complete tasks as ...

Developments in autonomous robotics have the potential to revolutionize manufacturing processes, making them more flexible, customizable, and efficient. But coordinating fleets of autonomous, mobile ...

There's no question that robots will play an increasingly central role in our lives in the future, but to get to a stage where they can be genuinely useful there are still a number of challenges to be ...

Plenty of companies have demoed home robots, but few, if any, have actually been released. The truth is that even the most advanced robots aren't very good at interacting with objects and environments ...

Experienced human cyclists can perform a wide range of maneuvers and acrobatics while riding their bicycle, from balancing in place to riding on a single wheel or hopping over obstacles. Reproducing ...

Robot dogs can move efficiently, but not all that naturally -- and no, twerking doesn't count. Virginia Tech researchers think they can do better. They're developing a combination of algorithms and ...
