Scientists are investigating the characteristics of various types of materials for their use in the generation and measurement of precise movements. When the arms of a robot move to pick up an egg or ...

There is a lot of buzz these days in the manufacturing sector about robots — and how they can help manufacturers address some of the challenges they face in today’s market, such as increased ...

Locomotive magnetic soft robots are categorized based on their structural characteristics into one-dimensional (1D), two-dimensional (2D), three-dimensional (3D), and fluidic types. Recently, Dr.

We've been hearing a lot lately about robots that are designed to operate in hazardous environments such as disaster sites. In these types of places, it's entirely possible that their locomotion ...

Natural systems retain significant advantages over engineered systems in many aspects, including size and versatility. Researchers have developed a hybrid robotic system using American (Periplaneta ...

Most robots have one means of locomotion—they might roll, fly, walk, or even swim. Rarely do they do more than one, though. Engineers at Caltech's Center for Autonomous Systems and Technologies (CAST) ...

It seems obvious that the way a robot moves would affect how people interact with it, and whether they consider it easy or safe to be near. But what poses and movement types specifically are ...
