A series of videos is reigniting debate over the future of humanoid robots. The videos shared by robot builder and researcher Logan Olson from October show the training exercise that enables a ...

Outside of tightly controlled environments, most robotic systems still struggle with reliability, generalization and cost. The gap between what we can demonstrate and what we can operate at scale ...

It’s a bizarre sight: With a short burst of light, a sponge-shaped robot scoots across a tiled surface. Flipped on its back, it repeatedly twitches as if doing sit-ups. By tinkering with the light’s ...

The robots utilize paper-based electrodes and liquid crystal elastomers for asymmetric bending and crawling motions. Biological systems have inspired the development of next-generation soft robotic ...
