What's 3.6 cm tall (1.4 in), and could one day be performing tasks such as walking through disaster site rubble looking for trapped survivors? It's Zippy, which is reportedly the smallest ...

Nature-inspired robot duo uses insect-like agility and inflatable growth to inspect tight, complex spaces like jet engines.

Abstract: The existing controllers for robot manipulators with uncertain gravitational force can globally stabilize only robot manipulators with revolute joints. The main obstacles to the global ...

In a bright, high-tech operating room, a sleek robotic arm stands poised next to the operating table. The autonomous robot ...

At less than 1.5 inches tall, the latest bipedal robot from Carnegie Mellon University’s College of Engineering can navigate smaller spaces than any other two-legged robot in the world.

Fast, precise, consistent, safe—it’s no wonder automated welding is growing. Here’s a look at current technologies and new ...

Surgeons from Keck Medicine of USC and UCLA Health have performed the world's first-in-human bladder transplant.

Based on the experimental results, a small-beads transmission joint is designed and applied to robot legs to achieve human gait-like movement. This concept is also applicable to designing robotic ...

Robotics at small scales (from centimeter/millimeter-scale robots all the way down to nanorobots) presents peculiar challenges that cannot be simply resolved by miniaturizing current robotic designs.
