New roach-inspired robot withstands 1 million times the weight of its own
Unlike large-scale robots powered by bulky actuators/motors, small-scale soft robots are often restricted to small actuators with low output power based on materials of...
‘Vegebot’ uses machine learning to identify and harvest lettuce
Agricultural harvesting is one area of the industry that has always made new technological advances. Some crops are relatively easy to harvest mechanically at...
MIT’s tiny ‘walking’ motor can help robots to assemble complex structures
It is a fact that all the world’s living things are built out of combinations of just 20 amino acids. Is it possible to...
Tiny RoboBee X-Wing uses solar power to achieve untethered flight
Researchers at the Harvard Microrobotics Lab have developed the insect-inspired microrobot called the RoboBee X-Wing - the latest version of their astonishing RoboBee. The...
Social robots can lead to more positive emotions in sick children
Over the past two decades, social robots have become an emerging field where there are many things still to work on. This field not...
This Japanese “Duck” robot replaces pesticides in rice fields
