The convergence of mechanics and electronics in robotics brings with it a lot of challenges. Thanks to 3D printing and low cost components, it’s possible to quickly and easily experiment with a ...

In 2020, Néstor O. Pérez-Arancibia, an associate professor of engineering at Washington State University (WSU), developed a tiny, autonomous robot beetle capable of using combusting methanol to roam ...

The body movements performed by humans and other animals are known to be supported by several intricate biological and neural mechanisms. While roboticists have been trying to develop systems that ...

Thanks to richer data and more sophisticated ultrasonic sensors, robots are getting better at mimicking human movements, according to Gecko Robotics, Inc. For instance, the Pittsburgh-based company is ...

UC Berkeley might be able to claim the title of ‘world’s fastest turning robot‘ and it’s all thanks to an innovation that Mother Nature came up even well before the dinosaurs: a wagging tail. It turns ...
