It's now actually not that unusual to see quadruped robots that have powered wheels for feet, allowing them to either walk or roll as the situation dictates. The modular D1 is different, though, in ...

The idea of a single robot that can transform into three different machines sounds like science fiction, but it is already sitting on workbenches and factory floors. In the prosumer corner of that ...

Called “legged metamachines,” the creations are made from autonomous, Lego-like modules that snap together into an endless number of configurations. Each module by itself is a complete robot with its ...

Disaster sites vary as widely as rescue missions. Using robotics to help often requires multiple robots to survey, climb, ...

We met up with Fredrick Layton from Carnegie Mellon University and talked to him about their modular snake robot. We met up with Fredrick Layton from Carnegie Mellon University and talked to him about ...

It’s all very impressive. At the end of its video presentation. LimX suggests that Tron 2, or a robot very much like it, would be ideal for future Mars missions due in part to its high level of ...

What is it about a cheetah's build that enables it to run so fast? What gives the wolf its exceptional endurance? While these questions can be partly answered through animal experiments, many ...

Multifunctional fluidic units generate coordinated motion and sensing in soft robots by combining actuation, switching, and oscillation in one module, reducing reliance on electronic control.
