In what may be the birth of cheap, easy-to-make robots, researchers have created complex machines that transform themselves from little more than a sheet of paper and plastic into walking automatons.

Using paper coated with silicon resin and iron particles, researchers created an untethered soft robot that can move without any electronics. This magnetically controlled device can detect heavy metal ...

Scientists have discovered how to build robots out of rice paper, opening up brand new possibilities for robotic applications. A team from the University of Bristol discovered that the same ingredient ...

Scientists have taken the position in a new study that one of the reasons babies smile is to get mom or any other caregiver to smile back at them. To demonstrate that, they used an uncanny robot baby.

Researchers at Massachusetts Institute of Technology have released their designs for a robotic bee that could artificially pollinate plants and food, The Debrief reports. The robot bee weighs less ...
