Formless 'slime' robots that shape-change to complete complex tasks – it sounds like science fantasy. However, MIT researchers have developed a machine-learning technique that brings shape-changing ...

If a robot is trying to traverse rugged, irregular terrain, it's limited by having just one body shape. The Tetraflex robot was designed with this fact in mind, as it can change shape to adopt ...

Robotic systems that mirror humans both in their appearance and movements, also known as humanoid robots, could be best suited for tackling many tasks that are currently performed by human agents.

Like octopuses squeezing through a tiny sea cave, metatruss robots can adapt to demanding environments by changing their shape. These mighty morphing robots are made of trusses composed of hundreds of ...

Researchers at Intel and Carnegie-Mellon University are using distributed computing and robotics to make shape-shifting robots a reality. Imagine a day when you can make your cell phone smaller to fit ...

According to its developers, the aptly named OCTOID is a soft robot that leverages cholesteric liquid crystal elastomers ...

Dive into the world of underwater exploration, and you’ll find a new player making waves: HERO-BLUE. This isn’t your average remotely operated vehicle (ROV); it’s an innovative robot designed to ...

(Nanowerk News) Biologically inspired robotics aims to replicate the extraordinary versatility found in nature. Chameleons alter skin pigmentation to camouflage against predators. Birds morph wings ...

This shape-changing robot just got a lot smaller. In a new study, engineers at the University of Colorado Boulder debuted mCLARI, a 2-centimeter-long modular robot that can passively change its shape ...

YOLO can mean many things, but in the context of [be_riddickulous]’s AI Talking Robot Dinosaur it refers to the “You Only Look Once” YOLOv11 object-detection algorithm by Ultralytics, the method by ...
