What will it take to get robots out of controlled demonstrations and into homes, factories and warehouses, without dragging a server rack on board? A robotics push, which Qualcomm is making an easy ...

Watch our interview with Professor Kevin Warwick, School of Systems Engineering, and Dr Ben Whalley, School of Pharmacy (WAV – 57MB) A multidisciplinary team at the University of Reading has developed ...

A group of Chinese researchers has created a robot with a brain made of human stem cells. The technology is technically a "brain-on-a-chip," and the researchers have been working to train the robot to ...

Robot skin that senses touch and pain — and triggers instant reflexes — makes robots more like humans. It probably also makes ...

Scientists create robot the size of a grain of salt that can dance and think - Researchers say the record-breaking robot ...

A group of scientists have wired a robot with human stem cells and attached a brain-computer interface, enabling the robot to complete tasks assigned to it. Human brains, much like computers, run on ...

It’s a bizarre sight: With a short burst of light, a sponge-shaped robot scoots across a tiled surface. Flipped on its back, it repeatedly twitches as if doing sit-ups. By tinkering with the light’s ...

Researchers at UC Berkeley are working alongside those at other universities to build a large-scale online learning system called “Robo Brain” where robots can access a single, global database ...

Advancements in neuroscience and robotics have been separate, but this world's first study from Chinese researchers has now been delivered on a robot controlled by human brain cells alone. No, it is ...

Two researchers have revealed how they are creating a single super-brain that can pilot any robot, no matter how different they are. Sergey Levine and Karol Hausman wrote in IEEE Spectrum that ...

In an age of increasingly advanced robotics, one team has well and truly bucked the trend, instead finding inspiration within the pinhead-sized brain of a tiny flying insect in order to build a robot ...
