RoboGrammar is a new system that automates and optimizes robot design. The system creates arthropod-inspired robots for traversing a variety of terrains. It could spawn more inventive robot forms with ...

A team led by Northwestern Engineering researchers has developed the first artificial intelligence (AI) to date that can intelligently design robots from scratch. To test the new AI, the researchers ...

For nearly half a century, the dream of microscopic robotics has felt tantalizingly close, yet perpetually out of reach. We ...

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent six days a week. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. Robots made out of flexible materials have huge potential, and in ...

Researchers at MIT have developed a way for a computer to essentially design its own robotic body, based on the available parts and the local terrain. Dubbed RoboGrammar, the system knows what ...

Generative AI is no longer just a tool for digital creativity—it’s now helping design real-world robots. Researchers at MIT’s Computer Science & Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) have ...

Researchers built autonomous robots the size of salt grains—with onboard computers, sensors, and motors that think and swim ...

One of the hurdles of advanced robotic artificial intelligence is programming. If an engineer programs a robotic arm to reach out and grasp an item, it needs to know the item’s location and how much ...

Scientists have built microscopic, light-powered robots that can think, swim, and operate independently at the scale of ...

Professor Boyuan Chen poses with some of his 3D printed robots that were designed and built through his new platform called Text2Robot that allows people to simply tell a computer what kind of robot ...

The AI-designed robot has three legs, rear fins, a flat face and is riddled with holes — something a human engineer would never conceive. Inventor of xenobots unveils new advance toward artificial ...
