Inventors and researchers have been developing robots for almost 70 years. To date, all the machines they have built – whether for factories or elsewhere – have had one thing in common: they are ...

Even though biped robots get better and better all the time, many don't exactly have truly natural leg movements. One reason why comes down to the fact that robot legs, with the exception of a few ...

A commercial robotic leg could potentially benefit both higher- and lower-mobility amputees, University of Michigan roboticists have shown for the first time. Subscribe to our newsletter for the ...

Most drones on the market are rotary-wing quadcopters, which can conveniently land and take off almost anywhere. The problem is they are less energy-efficient than fixed-wing aircraft, which can fly ...

A smoother experience for robotic prosthetic leg users is the aim of a University of Michigan project that has received renewed support from the National Institutes of Health. The R01 grant of $3 ...

Robots don’t stroll, at least not in science fiction movies. They more often than not lumber or, in the case of C-3PO, shuffle. But thanks to scientists at the University of Arizona, you might one day ...

Researchers have developed a robotic leg with artificial muscles. Inspired by living creatures, it jumps across different terrains in an agile and energy-efficient manner. Inventors and researchers ...
