A robotic hand with fingernail-like tips lets robots peel fruit, open lids and pick up thin, flat objects with more precise, human-like dexterity.

Coordinating groups of underwater robots is difficult because communication below the surface is slow and unreliable. GPS ...

Researchers have developed a new algorithm that combines two processes for personalizing robotic prosthetic devices to both optimize the movement of the prosthetic limb and - for the first time - also ...

New modular legged robot comprises multiple smaller autonomous robots. Each athletic module is a complete robot with its own motor, battery and brain. Together, modules form larger machines that can ...

Mobile robot algorithms and coordination have emerged as a central discipline in robotics research, combining computational theory, distributed algorithms, and systems engineering. These algorithms ...

Plenty of companies have demoed home robots, but few, if any, have actually been released. The truth is that even the most advanced robots aren't very good at interacting with objects and environments ...

A commercial robotic leg could potentially benefit both higher- and lower-mobility amputees, University of Michigan roboticists have shown for the first time. The leg provided the largest gains when ...

The evolution of robotic surgery has been transformative, reshaping how surgeons perform complex procedures with enhanced precision and control. With the rapid integration of artificial intelligence ...

Toshiba Corporation and MIRISE Technologies have demonstrated the first deployment of a quantum‑inspired optimization ...

Engineers at Toshiba and MIRISE report embedding a quantum-inspired optimization system directly onto a mobile robot, ...

Robotics engineering is a multidisciplinary field including electrical, mechanical, and computer engineering. It deals with designing, building, operating, and engineering robots and robotic systems ...
