Most robot headlines follow a familiar script: a machine masters one narrow trick in a controlled lab, then comes the bold promise that everything is about to change. I usually tune those stories out. We have heard about robots taking over since science ...
Some robots ran the Beijing half-marathon autonomously, while others were controlled remotely, all competing on a parallel course to avoid collisions with human athletes.
While real dogs still have a major leg up over robots, the machines are catching up. Popular Science previously highlighted a company called Glide that sells a vacuum cleaner shaped mobility aid that uses AI and passive kinetic guidance to help people with impaired vision navigate.
Purdue University Colleges of Science, Engineering, and Agriculture together with the Purdue Office of Industry Partnerships and Purdue Polytechnic Institute proudly present Robotics Day, a campus-wide celebration of innovation, collaboration, and ...

Scientists built robots smaller than a grain of sand
Robots that can think and move are no longer confined to factory floors or humanoid prototypes. Researchers have now shrunk fully programmable machines to a size smaller than a grain of sand, packing sensing, computation, and locomotion into specks you ...
In the not-too-distant future, the search for signs of life on Mars and the moon could see the next generation of robots exploring a new frontier: subsurface lava tubes. These missions could also help us determine the best locations for establishing human ...

Slime-like artificial muscle reshapes on command, heals after damage and turns one robot into many
Breaking away from conventional robots that perform only predefined functions once fabricated, researchers have developed a next-generation artificial muscle that can change its shape in real time, recover from damage,
In recent years, Africa has become a burgeoning hub for robotics innovation, positioning itself as a critical player in the global technological arena. With advancements in technology and a surge of interest from the younger generation, the continent’s ...
