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 ...

Robot builders make a convincing case that in 2001, robots are where personal computers were in 1980-poised to break into the marketplace as common corporate tools and ubiquitous consumer products ...

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.

In the fiercely competitive global robotics industry, design has evolved beyond simple biomimicry. It now deeply integrates generative AI, embodied intelligence, and humanistic values. China, ...

The rise of robots in automation has led to many humanoid helpers. This can be best seen in collaborative robots (cobots) like Baxter from Rethink Robotics or the UR cobots from Universal Robots. The ...

Robot skin that senses touch and pain — and triggers instant reflexes — makes robots more like humans. It probably also makes ...

The moment of truth had come for the knee-high robot standing on its improvised runway at a hotel news conference. Reporters circled it, their microphones and cameras trained on the machine as it ...

Robotic automation has long helped aerospace, automotive, and electronics OEMs cut manufacturing costs. But one estimate says only about 5% of the medical-manufacturing industry currently uses the ...

A telepresence robot is a machine that interacts with humans to help them to interact with people and their surrounding environment remotely. These robots enable virtual visits at hospitals and ...
