AI-trained quadruped robot walks rough, low-friction terrain without human input
This multi-objective setup encourages natural walking behavior rather than rigid or inefficient movement. A four-stage ...
Researchers have demonstrated a caterpillar-like soft robot that can move forward, backward and dip under narrow spaces. The caterpillar-bot's movement is driven by a novel pattern of silver nanowires ...

One image is all robots need to find their way
While the capabilities of robots have improved significantly over the past decades, they are not always able to reliably and ...
It’s the metal, plastic, and wires that give the robot its shape and allow it to move around. Engineers in this field design ...
