NEW YORK -- As the new robot called Sprout walks around a Manhattan office, nodding its rectangular head, lifting its windshield wiper-like “eyebrows” and offering to shake your hand with its grippers ...

Robots that can think and move are no longer confined to factory floors or humanoid prototypes. Researchers have now shrunk fully programmable machines to a size smaller than a grain of sand, packing ...

Just like bees, the individual robots in this simulation have no master plan. Simply by responding to local cues, they are able to construct honeycomb-like structures. The method could presage a new ...

Robotics is moving onto the critical path of data center construction and operations. From fleet-based drilling to perception ...

Scientists create smallest programmable robots ever - smaller than salt grains, these breakthrough microscopic machines could ...

Imagine a world where your morning coffee is brewed by a robot that remembers your exact preferences, your home is cleaned by a machine with human-like dexterity, and factories are staffed by tireless ...

The idea of a humanoid robot building an airplane may sound far-fetched, but a new deal between the European aviation giant ...

Newly developed mathematical rules allow virtual swarms of tiny robots to build without blueprints. In computer simulations, the robots built honeycomb-like structures without ever following - or even ...
