People using robotic prosthetics or exoskeletons may now be able to walk in a safer, more natural manner on different types of terrain, thanks to researchers who have developed software that can be integrated with existing hardware to enable a more natural gait.
Researchers have built a new robot with complex locomotion techniques that allow it to climb sand-covered hills without getting stuck
Inspired by the biomechanics of cheetahs, researchers have developed a new type of soft robot that is capable of moving more quickly on solid surfaces or in the water than previous generations of soft robots.
On 9 March, researchers at Yale University published a study which suggested that humans may warm up to social robots more if the latter make, or admit, mistakes. Published in…
In a first step for learning-based approaches to soft robotic control, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) researchers have enabled a soft robotic arm to understand its configuration in 3D space.…
