In order for robots to operate safely around humans, they need to see that people are approaching and they need to know when ...

Robots are becoming increasingly integrated into everyday environments—from homes and hospitals to factories and farms.

Rhagobot isn’t exactly the first thing that comes to mind at the mention of a robot. Inspired by Rhagovelia water striders, semiaquatic insects also known as ripple bugs, these tiny bots can glide ...

JAIST develops ProTac, a vision-based soft skin that lets robots sense touch, pressure, and nearby objects in real time.

Ripple bugs’ fan-like legs inspired engineers to build the Rhagobot, a tiny robot with self-morphing fans. By mimicking these ...

Below them, a cylindrical robot gathered test science data in the frigid ocean, connected by a tether to the tripod that had lowered it through the borehole.

In March, scientists from NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory lowered a cylindrical robot into the icy waters of the Beaufort Sea north of Alaska to gather data at 100 feet deep.

To what extent might robots be able to act as extensions of our bodies? Scientists are exploring how to integrate AI agents with A physical form and human-like senses into our lives.

In March, scientists from NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory lowered a cylindrical robot into the icy waters of the Beaufort Sea north of Alaska to gather data at 100 feet deep.

The robots’ task is to better understand how rapidly ice is melting — and how quickly that could cause catastrophic sea level rise. In March, scientists from NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory lowered a ...
