Engineers have found a way to shepherd microrobots with no wires, no radios, and no onboard computers. Instead, they steer them with light patterns designed using the same math physicists use to ...

From disaster zones to underground tunnels, robots are increasingly being sent where humans cannot safely go. But many of ...

MIT and Google DeepMind researchers have created an AI-driven robot that can turn ideas into physical objects with only ...

Researchers have unveiled a vision system inspired by feline eyes to enhance object detection in various lighting conditions. Featuring a unique shape and reflective surface, the system reduces glare ...

Engineers at MIT have added a new ability to existing flying robots – they can now glow when they flap their wings. Inspired by fireflies, this fluorescence could help with communication or tracking ...

A research team from Jilin University has developed a solar-powered floating robot that purifies water and autonomously navigates on its surface, offering a new strategy for smart, energy-free water ...

When you think of a robot, your go-to is probably WALL-E, C-3PO, or R2-D2. These hunks of bolts and metal paneling bear little in common with the microrobots that have become widely used across ...

Strawberries are the most popular berry in the U.S. for both consumers and farmers alike. They’re also some of the most pesticide-reliant fruits and consistently top the Environmental Working Group’s ...

This novel system features a slit-like elliptical aperture and a patterned metal reflector to improve object detection and recognition in various lighting conditions. The design effectively reduces ...
