The Columbia University researchers achieved the feat by allowing their robot, EMO, to study itself in a mirror. It learned ...

This spinning-mass principle drives several robots in development. One is a remote-controlled wheel that jumps when the internal mass rotates fast enough to lift it off the ground. Unlike spring-based ...

A robot observes its reflection in a mirror, learning its own morphology and kinematics for autonomous self-simulation. The process highlights the intersection of vision-based learning and robotics, ...

The symmetrical design and flexible fingers mean that the robot can transport objects on either side of its body. For humans, ...

The researchers detailed their findings in the journal Nature Machine Intelligence. "Like humans learning to dance by ...

Smart materials can change their shape or form in response to external stimuli, making them indispensable for many applications, including health equipment and automobiles, among others. Now, a ...

Robots waste power & depend on control to move. A joint design shifts control into the structure, helping robots walk & grip ...
