Researchers from MIT, EPFL, and the University of Cincinnati have developed a 3D-printed soft magnetic hydrogel enabling microscopic robots to move and deform independently under magnetic control. The ...

Daniela Rus has spent her career breaking barriers—scientific, social, and material—in her quest to build machines that amplify rather than replace human capability. She made robotics her life’s work, ...

MIT researchers have developed a modular 'voxel' construction system that robots can assemble and disassemble, enabling buildings to be reused rather than demolished. The approach aims to cut material ...

MIT’s Biomimetics Lab recently broke the speed record for a robotic Mini Cheetah: not quite Usain Bolt speed, but probably faster than you can run. But this robot can’t see, and MIT’s researchers didn ...

MIT's FluidLab has made significant progress in revolutionizing the fluid manipulation skills of robots, unlocking new potential for intricate tasks. While humans effortlessly interact with various ...

Artificial intelligence works when computers learn from data that is readily available. But there is no data to teach robots ...

There's a new version of a very quick quadrupedal robot from MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL). While four-legged robots have garnered no end of attention over the ...

An MIT Media Lab robot mimicked silk worms and spiders and wove a cocoon-like structure with a little programming help from humans. Inspired by nature, the robot used yarn-like material that it placed ...

Curious about how Snopes' writers verify information and craft their stories for public consumption? We've collected some posts that help explain how we do what we do. Happy reading and let us know ...

MIT’s Improbable Artificial Intelligence Laboratory researchers have designed a robot that can dribble a soccer ball across a handful of different terrains. Titled “Dribblebot,” the four-legged ...
