Researchers have developed an integrated fabrication process that for the very first time enables the design of soft robots on the millimeter scale with micrometer-scale features. To demonstrate the ...

On a dusty test site in Australia, a spider-like robot is quietly rewriting the rules of construction, extruding walls in looping arcs instead of stacking bricks by hand. The same technology that lets ...

You can stop stressing out about UFOs now, because researchers from The University of Tokyo have decided we need a more terrifying concern to keep us up all night: robot spiders that can both crawl ...

It’s well understood that spiders have poor eyesight and thus sense the vibrations in their webs whenever prey (like a fly) gets caught; the web serves as an extension of their sensory system. But ...

The robot zoo has gained another member. Engineers at the University of Colorado Boulder have created a small robot spider that can passively shapeshift, allowing it to squeeze through narrow spaces ...

Jumping robot spiders and swarms of robotic bees sounds like the stuff of science fiction, but researchers at The University of Manchester are already working on such projects and aiming to lead the ...
