Adding legs to robots that have minimal awareness of the environment around them can help the robots operate more effectively in difficult terrain, my colleagues and I found. We were inspired by ...

Research Team Creates Robotic Leg With Human-Like Muscles. Robots may be the technology of the future - but did you know they rely on technology that's 200 years old to power them? Even the most ...

Inventors and researchers have been developing robots for almost 70 years. To date, all the machines they have built – whether for factories or elsewhere – have had one thing in common: they are ...

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 ...

BERKELEY, Calif. -- Move over Bionic Man and make room for BLEEX -- the Berkeley Lower Extremities Exoskeleton, with strap-on robotic legs designed to turn an ordinary human into a super strider.

An effort to create a control model that moves seamlessly between different activities like standing, walking and climbing stairs is renewed by the National Institutes of Health ANN ARBOR—A smoother ...

Most drones on the market are rotary-wing quadcopters, which can conveniently land and take off almost anywhere. The problem is they are less energy-efficient than fixed-wing aircraft, which can fly ...
