An article published in Science Robotics by a team of University of Virginia researchers has been selected as the prestigious journal’s best paper of 2024. Electrical and computer engineering Ph.D.

Say hello to Argus, a 20-legged, blob-looking robot capable of seeing in all directions at the same time and able to move ...

A weird 20-legged machine could change how scientists think about the ideal robot form. For decades, roboticists have been ...

Using 'DNA origami' scientists have built innovative nanostructures that pave the way for advanced robotics that can deliver targeted drugs -- plus they made a tiny map of Australia and mini dinosaurs ...

Most robots are built to look like something. Engineers designing machines to navigate the real world have, for decades, ...

Virginia Tech researchers have received a grant worth more than $500,000 from the U.S. National Science Foundation. This money is to be used to expand robot theatre, an after-school programme designed ...

This weird robot has no face. In fact, there’s no obvious front or back. It does not trot like a dog (technically, 4-legged robots like those from Boston Dynamics or Unitree are called quadrupedal ...

Humanoid robots have entered the public consciousness and remain at the center of discussions about the future of work in warehouses and factories alike—but they may not be the ultimate form factor ...

Most robot headlines follow a familiar script: a machine masters one narrow trick in a controlled lab, then comes the bold promise that everything is about to change. I usually tune those stories out.

The field of soft robotics creates robots made of materials such as elastic, silicone rubber, or gels for the purpose of working in conjunction with people. Extremely maneuverable and often lacking ...
