A new material developed by CU Boulder engineers can transform into complex, pre-programmed shapes via light and temperature stimuli, allowing a literal square peg...
This sixth-grade inventor built a robot to hunt ocean plastic
Of the millions of metric tons of plastic that enter the ocean each year, researchers don’t yet know exactly where it all ends up....
Microbots That Swarm to Build Structures
At SRI International in Silicon Valley, researchers have developed perhaps the most impressive microbot army yet: the MicroFactory. It’s an ant colony made robotic, with...
All-purpose talent in aircraft manufacturing
In aircraft manufacturing, much of the milling, drilling, and assembly is still done by hand. This is because the raw components vary not only...
Researchers design ‘soft’ robots that can move on their own
If Star Wars' R2-D2 is your idea of a robot, think again. Researchers led by a University of Houston engineer have reported a new...
Soft robotic fish swims alongside real ones in coral reefs
In a paper, out today, a team from MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) unveiled “SoFi,” a soft robotic fish that can independently swim...
