In an age where technology seems to evolve by the minute, one might assume that robots are seamlessly executing both complex and mundane tasks. Yet, despite leaps in artificial intelligence (AI) and ...

Researchers from AMOLF's Soft Robotic Matter group have shown that a group of small autonomous, self-learning robots can adapt easily to changing circumstances. They connected these simple robots in a ...

The future of work is not about humans being replaced by robots. Rather, it is about us learning to work alongside smart, automated technology that will augment our capabilities while allowing us to ...

Scientists achieve major robotics milestone as robot learns 1,000 different physical tasks in single day, potentially ...

Robots are only as smart as their programmer, a fact that media and interaction design students at the Swiss arts university ECAL highlight in a clever video featuring Thymio robots spelling out ...

We’ve all scarfed it down at the movies and made necklaces with it as children. But while we were getting liquid butter all over our hands and faces, roboticists at Cornell University’s Collective ...

Microrobots—tiny robots less than a millimeter in size—are useful in a variety of applications that require tasks to be completed at scales far too small for other tools, such as targeted ...

Scientists have developed a concept called Empowerment to help robots to protect and serve humans, while keeping themselves safe. Rather than trying to make a machine understand complex ethical ...
