An advanced, spider-like robot is set to tackle construction challenges in Australia and potentially assist in building on the Moon in the future. Named Charlotte, this robot was developed by the ...

An experimental new non-electronic bot, however, can be 3D-printed all in one piece, and it's powered by nothing but air. The soft-bodied robot was created by postdoctoral scholar Yichen Zhai and ...

Sonair is pushing towards a new sensor built on 3D ultrasonic technology, giving autonomous robotics the power to see and make the right decisions. Ralph W. Bernstein is the senior business developer ...

Soft skin coverings and touch sensors have emerged as a promising feature for robots that are both safer and more intuitive for human interaction, but they are expensive and difficult to make. A ...

This a robot can walk, without electronics, and only with the addition of a cartridge of compressed gas, right off the 3D-printer. It can also be printed in one go, from one material. Imagine a robot ...
