Wheels and tracks are common choices for robot propulsion, but they’re not the only game in town. You can do some nifty things with long extruded screws , and they work pretty well in soft terrain.

Think of actuators as the robot’s muscles —the technology that enables humanoids to move. Actuators come in three types: ...

A robot that can create simple objects from reusable building blocks based on spoken commands could one day be used to quickly build furniture. Artificial intelligence programs can create 3D digital ...

Engineers say they have created a design for a robot capable of jumping 400 feet into the air — and it could one day be heading for space. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an ...

FieldAI, an Irvine, California-based robotics startup, has raised $405 million across multiple previously undisclosed rounds to develop what it calls “foundational embodied AI models” — essentially ...

Skild is building a “general purpose” robot brain, essentially a prefabricated AI model that can go into pretty much any general purpose robot, for less cost than custom-built robot software. The ...

There are many incredible open-source robotic arm projects out there, but there’s a dearth of affordable, stable, and mobile robotic platforms with arms. That’s where XLeRobot comes ...

Roboticists have a habit of looking to nature for inspiration, and this time, they've turned to the humble marine flatworm. Known for undulating their bodies to move through water, ocean-dwelling ...

Skild AI, a startup that’s developing artificial intelligence-powered brains for robots, said today it has closed on a bumper $300 million early-stage funding round, bringing its valuation to a cool ...
