Scientists have discovered how to build robots out of rice paper, opening up brand new possibilities for robotic applications. A team from the University of Bristol discovered that the same ingredient ...

Machine touted as first tiny robot to be able to sense, think and act, envisioning a future of use inside human body.

Researchers have demonstrated a soft robot that mimics a caterpillar by employing liquid crystal elastomers with paper-based electrodes to produce asymmetric bending. The robots utilise paper-based ...

Swarm Intelligence, inspired by collective behaviors in nature, is now being applied to robotics, enabling multiple humanoid robots to collaborate seamlessly on complex tasks. UBTech's Walker S1 ...

Just like bees, the individual robots in this simulation have no master plan. Simply by responding to local cues, they are able to construct honeycomb-like structures. The method could presage a new ...

Newly developed mathematical rules allow virtual swarms of tiny robots to build without blueprints. In computer simulations, the robots built honeycomb-like structures without ever following - or even ...
