Disney is partnering with Nvidia and Google DeepMind to create Newton, an open-source physics engine that will help robots ...

Now, a research team led by scientists from UC Santa Barbara and TU Dresden has developed a material-like robot collective that behaves like a smart material, capable of changing shape and ...

In a major breakthrough, a team of researchers led by Matthew Devlin from UC Santa Barbara has developed small robots that can work in unison to change their shape and transition between solid and ...

However, beyond the uses that designers and engineers intend, robots shape how our shared spaces feel – although very little is known about their impact and effects on public space, or the appropriate ...

Researchers have developed small robots that can work together as a collective that changes shape and even shifts between solid and “fluid-like” states — a concept that should be familiar to ...

As a collective, the robots behaved like a material that could change shape and switch between solid and liquid states, just like the T-1000. The T-1000 was a marvel to behold, but the movie gave ...

A robot that changes shape to move like animals? This design can drive, roll, and swim, using less energy and adapting to any terrain. The morphing Good Over All Terrains (GOAT) robot in sphere mode.

In a nutshell: Researchers have developed minuscule robots that can "assemble" and behave like a collective, building new shapes and tools. Inspired by nature, the team identified and developed ...

Inspired by embryos, these disk-shaped robots use magnets, motors, and light to shift between rigid and fluid states. The result? A self-healing, shape-shifting system that could change how we build ...

The robot’s hardware and software are modular. Customers will be able to combine different upper-body, lower-body and end-effector configurations to suit their application, and cut costs by ...

The response was surprisingly enthusiastic (for a robot), with follow-up questions ... A tossed salad and cornbread made the cut, and when I mentioned my less-than-stellar baking skills, Chad ...
