In an office at MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL), a soft robotic hand carefully curls its fingers to grasp a small object. The intriguing part isn't the mechanical ...

Hands move constantly during conversation. They signal emotion, stress a point, and form full languages such as American Sign Language. Behind this everyday motion lies a complex challenge. Each human ...

Cell-sized robots can sense temperature, make decisions, and move autonomously using nanowatts of power—no external control ...

Built to measure the movement, location or displacement of an object along a linear or rotational path, position sensing in humanoid robots is needed to detect movement and convert it into signals ...

Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania and University of Michigan have created the world’s smallest fully programmable ...

The Earth's oceans, covering over 70% of the planet's surface, represent a vast frontier for scientific discovery and resource utilization, yet remain ...

Robots small enough to travel autonomously through the human body to repair damaged sites may seem the stuff of science ...

Climbing robots represent a rapidly evolving field in robotics, offering innovative solutions for tasks that are often hazardous, labour‐intensive or inaccessible for humans. These systems utilise ...

Most living organisms easily surpass machines when it comes to navigating real-world environments and adaptability to changing conditions. One way to bridge that gap is building biohybrid robots that ...
