Legged robot locomotion and control encompass the integration of advanced mechanical design, sensorimotor coordination and adaptive algorithms to enable agile and efficient movement over diverse ...

If you’re searching for a unique robot concept, look no further than the new Single-Actuator Wave robot created by researchers at Israel’s Ben-Gurion University of the Negev. They’ve built a ...

Researchers have been playing around with various oddball forms of robot locomotion; surely, we’ve seen it all, haven’t we? Not so! Lucky for us, [researchers at Stanford] are now showing us a new way ...

A new demonstration video from Flexion Robotics shows its new “brain” powering an humanoid robot to navigate outdoor terrain ...

Soft robots are prized for their agility and gentle touch, which makes them ideal for traversing delicate or enclosed spaces ...

A blocky, bright-yellow robot that would look at home in a toy chest moves like a salamander, as its inventors intended. The robot and the mathematical model behind it provide insights into how ...

If John Cleese once represented the head of Monty Python’s Ministry of Silly Walks, then Dennis Hong, professor and founding director of UCLA’s Robotics and Mechanisms Laboratory, may hold a similar ...

Researchers have demonstrated a caterpillar-like soft robot that can move forward, backward and dip under narrow spaces. The caterpillar-bot's movement is driven by a novel pattern of silver nanowires ...

You’d be hard-pressed to find more opposite opposites than jellyfish and robots. Jellyfish pump through the oceans with effortless grace, while robots struggle to not fall on their faces—and that’s ...

Prof. Jimmy Or's been developing humanoid robots for years. His special sauce is to make flexible-spined models that can walk without support or suspension, a feat no other researcher has yet publicly ...
