When Rodney Brooks talks about robotics and artificial intelligence, you should listen. Currently the Panasonic Professor of Robotics Emeritus at MIT, he also co-founded three key companies, including ...

The four-legged robots even kick around a soccer ball together. Massachusetts Institute of Technology's (MIT) simultaneously cute and unsettling "back-flipping" robot dogs enjoyed some time outside ...

MIT researchers are pushing robotics into the microscopic world, building insect-sized machines capable of navigating spaces ...

Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) researchers are building swarms of tiny robots that have built-in intelligence, allowing them to build structures, vehicles, or even larger versions of ...

When studying underwater marine life, it helps if you can use a device that doesn't scare the animals by appearing unnatural to them. MIT scientists have created a robo-starfish with that in mind, ...

MIT researchers have developed a new soft robotics platform able to grip items such as tools using the appropriate amount of force. The Series Elastic End Effectors (SEED) has been designed to allow ...

Humanoid robots are already dancing, backflipping, and scaring the heck out of people all over the world. But, they still need a lot of work. Delicate motor skills often represent a challenge that ...

Engineers are (rapidly) getting better at building smaller and smaller robots. Last year, for example, researchers at Purdue University made microbots capable of somersaulting their way through people ...
