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 ...

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 start-up company says it has developed a navigation system that is cheap enough to bring robots to the mass-consumer market. Pasadena, Calif.-based Evolution Robotics said its technology that lets a ...

IRobot Corp., maker of the Roomba floor cleaner and other robotic devices, late Monday said that it plans to acquire privately held Evolution Robotics Inc., developer of a competing line of ...

Robots of the future will look nothing like R2D2 in Star Wars, but resemble computer chips embedded in everyday appliances, such as vacuum cleaners and cell phones, if companies like Evolution ...

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 ...

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.

A new study suggests that by encouraging behavioral diversity, we can produce a faster, more effective learning curve for robots attempting to complete designated tasks. The study results were ...

As a technological leap, robotic surgery is India’s opportunity to dissolve geographic inequality in healthcare.
