In the video, the robot is shown climbing and maneuvering across multiple different types of terrains. In some attempts, the ...

The GOAT robot can passively roll downhill configured as a sphere to save time and energy. Nature offers countless examples of animals responding to their surroundings with agility and resilience, ...

The world of robotics is rapidly evolving, and at the forefront of this evolution are shape-shifting robots. These technological marvels can seamlessly transition between different modes of mobility, ...

If a robot is going to excel at traversing multiple types of terrain, it shouldn't have an unadaptable "Jack of all trades, master of none" body shape. That's where the GOAT robot comes in, as it ...

It’s a bizarre sight: With a short burst of light, a sponge-shaped robot scoots across a tiled surface. Flipped on its back, it repeatedly twitches as if doing sit-ups. By tinkering with the light’s ...

Researchers have developed small robots that can work together as a collective that changes shape and even shifts between solid and “fluid-like” states — a concept that should be familiar to anyone ...

Kaushik Jayaram envisions a day when swarms of tiny robots, some weighing no more than a paperclip, will crawl through airplanes or into buildings after an earthquake—searching for survivors or ...

In a nutshell: Researchers have developed minuscule robots that can "assemble" and behave like a collective, building new shapes and tools. Inspired by nature, the team identified and developed the ...

By using one physical principle—magnetism—to drive both movement and power, the team created a robot that is more efficient, ...
