A team led by Northwestern Engineering researchers has developed the first artificial intelligence (AI) to date that can intelligently design robots from scratch. To test the new AI, the researchers ...

If you’re designing a robot for a specific purpose, you’re probably ordering fresh parts and going with a clean sheet design. If you’re just building for fun though, you can just go with whatever ...

The Omnibot is a four-wheeled robot with three motors that allow it to turn or move in any direction. The Omnibot is a four-wheeled robot with three motors that allow it to turn or move in any ...

Robots are super interesting, but you probably shouldn’t start learning about them with a full-sized industrial SCARA arm or anything. Better to learn with something smaller and simpler to understand.

While its feet may wander aimlessly, its hand won’t pick up just anything. Neither will it release its finds willy nilly. “It” is a molecular robot, a single-stranded DNA with one leg and two foot ...

Since the 1980s, the design and synthesis of molecular machines has been identified as a grand challenge for molecular engineering. Robots are an important type of molecular machine that automatically ...

When a robot company is founded by graduates from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, you can bet they’ll create some innovative products. iRobot, famed for the Roomba robo-vac, is arguably the ...

Researchers at the California Institute of Technology have developed an autonomous molecular machine comprising a single strand of DNA that can move around, collect specific molecules and sort them ...
