If 2025 proved anything, it’s that humanoid robots are no longer content to stand still. This was the year they learned to ...

A muscle from the slug's mouth helps the robot move, which is currently controlled by an external electrical field. Future iterations of the device will include ganglia – bundles of neurons and nerves ...

“Research on biohybrid robots, which are a fusion of biology and mechanics, is recently attracting attention as a new field of robotics featuring biological function,” says corresponding author Shoji ...

Engineers in Japan have unveiled an unusual four-legged robot that moves with a smooth, animal-like gait rarely seen in ...

Researchers are using the human body as inspiration in the next generation of robots. It's like anatomy, but electronic. Electro-hydraulic muscles are more energy efficient than motor driven robots.

Warehouse work is intense, repetitive and physically demanding. Kinisi Robotics, a U.S.-based startup, wants to change that. Its newest innovation, the Kinisi 01, also known as KR1, is a powerful ...

The movement capability of humanoid robots starts at the joints. Harmonic joint modules are the core enabler of agile motion.

While biohybrid robots that crawl and swim have been built before with lab-grown muscle, this is the first such bipedal robot that can pivot and make sharp turns. It does this by applying electricity ...

This sped-up video of the robot underwater shows the legs walking forward, with the muscle contractions being stimulated by electricity. Researchers at the University of Tokyo have created a ...

A bipedal robot made from an artificial skeleton and biological muscle is able to walk and pivot when stimulated with electricity, allowing it to carry out finer movements than previous biohybrid ...

The world’s smallest fully programmable, autonomous robots have debuted at the University of Pennsylvania, sporting a brain ...
