In the future, delivering therapeutic drugs exactly where they are needed within the body could be the task of miniature robots. Not little metal humanoid or even bio-mimicking robots; think instead ...

An interdisciplinary team has created tiny bubble-like microrobots that can deliver therapeutics right where they are needed and then be absorbed by the body. In the future, delivering therapeutic ...

An interdisciplinary team led by Caltech’s Wei Gao has created tiny bubble-like microrobots that can deliver therapeutics right where they are needed and then be absorbed by the body. Using the bots, ...

In medical treatment, getting a drug to the proper location in the body can be as important as administering the right drug. Scientists have tinkered with various micro-robots that could be moved ...

An innovative algorithm called Spectral Expansion Tree Search helps autonomous robotic systems make optimal choices on the move. In 2018, Google DeepMind's AlphaZero program taught itself the games of ...

Researchers at Caltech have built a drone-robot hybrid that can do it all. LEONARDO, short for LEgs ONboARD drOne (if that's too much of a mouthful, it also goes by LEO), is a bipedal robot that can ...

In 2018, Google DeepMind's AlphaZero program taught itself the games of chess, shogi, and Go using machine learning and a special algorithm to determine the best moves to win a game within a defined ...

Caltech engineers have developed a multimodal robot system — a humanoid robot with a transforming drone that launches off its back. Sitting on the back of the humanoid robot, a Unitree G1 machine, the ...

For years, science fiction has promised a future filled with robots that can swim, crawl and fly like animals. In one research lab at Caltech, what once felt like distant imagination is becoming ...
