If you’re searching for a unique robot concept, look no further than the new Single-Actuator Wave robot created by researchers at Israel’s Ben-Gurion University of the Negev. They’ve built a ...

Locomotive magnetic soft robots are categorized based on their structural characteristics into one-dimensional (1D), two-dimensional (2D), three-dimensional (3D), and fluidic types. Recently, Dr.

Inspired by how ants move through narrow spaces by shortening their legs, scientists have built a robot that draws in its limbs to navigate constricted passages. The robot was able to hunch down and ...

Blacksburg, Va. -- Creating a robotic locomotion mechanism based on the motion of single-cell organisms is the goal of Virginia Tech College of Engineering researcher Dennis Hong, who has received a ...

Although soft-bodied robots themselves can be fairly simple, low-cost devices, they typically require complex onboard electronics to control their locomotion. Such is not the case with a new bot, ...

[James Bruton] is on a quest to explore all the weird and wonderful methods of robot locomotion, and in his latest project created an omnidirectional walker that can move in any direction ...

Researchers at the University of Michigan’s Robotics Department and the Southern University of Science and Technology in China published a research paper discussing the use of discrete-time hybrid ...

Dennis Hong is designing his Whole Skin Locomotion (WSL) mechanism to work on much the same principle as the pseudopod -- or cytoplasmic "foot" -- of the amoeba. Preliminary experiments show that a ...

Bipedal robots have proved a challenging frontier for roboticists, with styles ranging from clunkers to lurchers to those seemingly falling over drunk. However, the AMBER lab at Texas A&M University ...
