Scientists have developed living microrobot swarms made from algae and nanoparticles that can assemble ...

Forget teaching robots to think like humans. A field called swarm robotics is taking inspiration from ants, bees and even slime molds—simple creatures that achieve remarkable feats through collective ...

Robot swarms are systems composed of many simple robots that coordinate without central control. Soon, they could be radically transformed by artificial intelligence. A new article published in ...

The gripper features 6 shape memory polymer (SMP)-embedded arms capable of rapid underwater stiffness tuning. In the soft state, it can perform suction mode or grasping mode, where positive pressure ...

With their bright blue bases, yellow gears, and exposed circuit tops, the 3D-printed robots look like a child’s toys. Yet as a roughly two-dozen-member collective, they can flow around obstacles ...
