Engineers in Japan have unveiled an unusual four-legged robot that moves with a smooth, animal-like gait rarely seen in ...

MIT engineers have quietly solved one of the biggest bottlenecks in living-tissue robotics, creating synthetic tendons that ...

Video Friday is your weekly selection of awesome robotics videos, collected by your friends at IEEE Spectrum robotics. We ...

“Research on biohybrid robots, which are a fusion of biology and mechanics, is recently attracting attention as a new field of robotics featuring biological function,” says corresponding author Shoji ...

Researchers are using the human body as inspiration in the next generation of robots. It's like anatomy, but electronic. Electro-hydraulic muscles are more energy efficient than motor driven robots.

Warehouse work is intense, repetitive and physically demanding. Kinisi Robotics, a U.S.-based startup, wants to change that. Its newest innovation, the Kinisi 01, also known as KR1, is a powerful ...

While biohybrid robots that crawl and swim have been built before with lab-grown muscle, this is the first such bipedal robot that can pivot and make sharp turns. It does this by applying electricity ...

Researchers at the University of Tokyo have created a two-legged biohybrid robot, combining an artificial skeleton with biological muscle, which is capable of walking and pivoting underwater. Typical ...

Scientists have achieved a breakthrough in robotics by designing the first robotic leg equipped with “artificial muscles,” allowing the machine to move more like a human than previously possible. The ...

This sped-up video of the robot underwater shows the legs walking forward, with the muscle contractions being stimulated by electricity. Researchers at the University of Tokyo have created a ...

A bipedal robot made from an artificial skeleton and biological muscle is able to walk and pivot when stimulated with electricity, allowing it to carry out finer movements than previous biohybrid ...

Tiny microrobots are learning to fly with insect-like speed and control, thanks to new AI-driven technology developed at MIT.
