We humans have mastered fire, split the atom, and shot ourselves into space. We've built machines that can outthink us and tools that can cook us lunch or cut open our chests to perform life-saving ...

Different insects flap their wings in different manners. Understanding the variations between these modes of flight may help scientists design better and more efficient flying robots in the future.

Evolution is a very slow process, due largely to the fact that nature doesn't "know" in advance which features of an animal will be beneficial. A new AI-based algorithm does know, however, allowing it ...

A team led by Northwestern Engineering researchers has developed the first artificial intelligence (AI) to date that can intelligently design robots from scratch. To test the new AI, the researchers ...

Two bacteriologists showed that mutations arise spontaneously in bacterial cultures, thereby disproving Jean-Baptiste Lamarck ...

Robotic vacuum cleaners have come a long way since their inception, evolving from basic dust collectors to intelligent home assistants. These innovative devices have revolutionized how we clean our ...

The technical aspects of bearing specifications, touching on the evolution from standard to tailored solutions. An overview of the bearings used in humanoid robots, including crossed roller bearings, ...

So, here's how you go about evolving robots. First, buy a fancy computer and set up a virtual world that mimics the real world with the laws of physics - gravity and such -- programmed into it. You ...

Banking on the idea that helper robots will be as ubiquitous in homes and offices as they are today in factories, Evolution Robotics has raised almost $14 million to continue developing both software ...
