MIT engineers develop artificial hydrogel tendons to enhance strength, speed, and durability in biohybrid robotic system ...

Robust.AI co-founder Rodney Brooks, a pioneering roboticist and co-creator of the widely selling Roomba robot vacuum, ...

MIT engineers have quietly solved one of the biggest bottlenecks in living-tissue robotics, creating synthetic tendons that let soft muscle pull on hard plastic with far more force and control. By ...

We look back at some of the many robots that iRobot developed in addition to the Roomba over the past 35 years.

Robot, the maker of Roomba, filed for bankruptcy due to intense Chinese competition and failed regulatory approvals.

In the future, tiny flying robots could be deployed to aid in the search for survivors trapped beneath the rubble after a devastating earthquake. Like real insects, these robots could flit through ...

Inspired by kirigami, a type of Japanese paper art, researchers have created a new material that transforms from a grid into ...

Tiny drones could one day crawl through collapsed buildings to help find survivors after earthquakes. These micro-robots, ...

MIT researchers build a “scientific sandbox” that uses AI to simulate how vision systems evolve and it could help design next ...

Why did humans evolve the eyes we have today? While scientists can't go back in time to study the environmental pressures that shaped the evolution of the diverse vision systems that exist in nature, ...

MIT researchers have developed a new method for designing 3D structures that can be transformed from a flat configuration ...
