Their machine-learning model uses images of the robot's environment to generate a 2D action space, which includes the robot and the area around it. They simulate robot motion using what is known as ...

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 ...

Korean researchers have developed an advanced soft robot, OCTOID, inspired by the multifunctional abilities of octopuses. Leveraging cholesteric liquid crystal elastomers (CLCEs), OCTOID combines ...

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 ...

Scientists have designed swarms of microscopic robots that communicate and coordinate using sound waves, much like bees or birds. These self-organizing micromachines can adapt to their surroundings, ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) The next generation of robots may not look anything like the rigid, mechanical machines we’re used to. Instead, imagine a robot that moves more like an octopus or a human hand, ...
