Rhagobot isn’t exactly the first thing that comes to mind at the mention of a robot. Inspired by Rhagovelia water striders, ...
Researchers at ETH Zurich have trained an AI-powered four-legged robot, ANYmal, to play badminton with surprising accuracy and agility.
ANYmal is equipped with two cameras that allow it to follow the shuttlecock in flight. Using AI-driven prediction models, the robot can anticipate the trajectory of the shuttle and position itself ...
A scientist used a mathematical model to demonstrate that bacteria can control the behavior of an inanimate device like a robot.
Researchers at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities have developed aerial robots equipped with artificial intelligence (AI ...
A team of scientists has constructed a robot leg that, like its natural model, is very energy efficient. BirdBot benefits from a foot-leg coupling through a network of muscles and tendons that ...
In his genre-defining collection of science fiction short stories, titled "I, Robot," author Isaac Asimov laid out the three laws or robotics. Respectively, the laws forbid a robot from harming a ...
The fastest-ever swimming soft robot has been inspired by manta rays. A team of American researchers beat its own speed record by drawing inspiration from the iconic sea creatures to improve their ...
A team of researchers at the University of California at Berkeley have demonstrated a robot that can learn via trial and error, much like how humans learn. It constitutes a pretty big step forward ...
This four-legged robot learned parkour to better navigate obstacles Latest improvements to ANYmal make it better at navigating rubble and tricky terrain.
When prompted, the model would create an image of a frog ballerina in pixels, but only in configurations that were possible for the robot to paint using those 130 brushstrokes.
Educators striving to integrate STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) into their curricula can leverage this model to provide hands-on robotics instruction.
