Researchers have created microscopic robots so small they’re barely visible, yet smart enough to sense, decide, and move completely on their own. Powered by light and equipped with tiny computers, the ...

Scientists have built microscopic, light-powered robots that can think, swim, and operate independently at the scale of ...

Robots that can think and move are no longer confined to factory floors or humanoid prototypes. Researchers have now shrunk ...

Sphero has announced another rolling ball robot called the Sphero Bolt. The Sphero Bolt follows in the company’s ethos of having a commitment to education-based products, but it comes with some ...

(Nanowerk News) Robotics researchers have already made great strides in developing sensors that can perceive changes in position, pressure, and temperature – all of which are important for ...

A new category of sensing technology transforms mobile robot vision from 2D to 3D, improves safety performance and provides 50-80% cost savings compared to traditional, LiDAR-based systems and sensor ...

Biological systems can actively sense and adjust their mechanical response to changes in their environment. Until now, the mainstream research on biomimetic robotics is to mimic the complex motion of ...

Robots could soon have a softer, more human touch thanks to optical pressure sensors embedded in an artificial "skin." Robots are hardly known for their gentle actions -- it's either on or off, so to ...
