Robotics

A hovering quadcopter drone.

The innovation allows for enhanced reliability and can save life-science researchers time and money.

A novel robotic system integrated with event-driven artificial skin and vision sensors.

It enables robots to help us with things like tying knots, wire shaping, or even surgical suturing.

It can work 24/7, make its own decisions about which chemistry experiments to perform next.

By getting inspired by the biomechanics of cheetahs, scientists at North Carolina State University have developed the fastest ever soft robot that can move...

Scientists at Singapore's Nanyang Technological University (NTU Singapore) have transformed the ultra-tough pollen grains from sunflowers into a pliable, gel-like material through a process...

Exoskeletons - robotic wearable technologies that increase our physical capabilities - are slowly leaving the world of comics to become a reality. A number...

Many soft robotic systems require integrated sensors that can extend and accommodate along surface contours. Over the last decade, composite materials made using polymer...

We, human beings, are able to grab objects with our hand thanks to the thumb that serves as a clamp. It brings precision and...

In the first human clinical trial, an automated device performed better than people.

Scientists took inspiration from the natural cooling system that exists in mammals: sweating.
