Robots are super interesting, but you probably shouldn’t start learning about them with a full-sized industrial SCARA arm or anything. Better to learn with something smaller and simpler to understand.

Researchers who created a soft robot that could navigate simple mazes without human or computer direction have now built on that work, creating a “brainless” soft robot that can navigate more complex ...

A field called swarm robotics is taking inspiration from ants, bees and even slime molds.

Gen AI models aren’t just good for creating pictures—they can be fine-tuned to generate useful robot training data, too. Generative AI models can produce images in response to prompts within seconds, ...

Paul McCabe] wrote in to let us know about his $25 robot. This small wheeled robot is based on an ESP32 and made using cardboard and hot glue. You drive the contraption using a Bluetooth game ...

The Dobb-E domestic robotics system was trained in real people’s homes and could help solve the field’s data problem. A new system that teaches robots a domestic task in around 20 minutes could help ...

Inside a UNC-Chapel Hill Science lab sits an autonomous robot. Imagine a machine like a Roomba, but with an arm, so it can pick up things like a dirty sock off the floor. A group of researchers from ...
