What comes to mind when you think of the social-news site reddit? Perhaps the topic-specific boards devoted to cat GIFs? Bernie Bros raving about their favorite presidential candidate? Gaming?

If it wasn’t for its lack of a head, a robot from a University of Oslo research group would seem alarmingly life-like as it stumbles across the floor. Named DyRET, this quadruped teaches itself how to ...

Evolutionary robotics is a new exciting area of research which draws on Darwinian evolutionary principles to automatically develop autonomous robots. In a new research article published in Frontiers ...

Evolutionary algorithms represent a class of optimisation techniques inspired by the principles of biological evolution. These methods iteratively modify candidate solutions using operations analogous ...

A new study suggests that by encouraging behavioral diversity, we can produce a faster, more effective learning curve for robots attempting to complete designated tasks. The study results were ...

Neuro-evolutionary robotics is an attractive approach to realize collective behaviors for swarms of robots. Despite the large number of studies that have been devoted to it and although many methods ...

Elon Musk’s recent announcement of an upcoming Tesla Bot — complete with a human form, “human-level hands” and a characteristically optimistic delivery date — has garnered a healthy serving of ...

The term omni-robotics is very seldom used as part of our terminology speech. We have a tendency to classify our robots by manufacturer and number of axes, or more appropriately, degrees of freedom ...

Roboticists often copy nature, crafting humanoid robots for household chores, worm-style machines for crawling through tunnels and four-legged contraptions that look like cheetahs for running and ...

THE drones that most people are familiar with today are “very boring”, declares Dario Floreano, head of the Laboratory of Intelligent Systems at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne.
