Meet Q8bot, a palm-sized robot that resembles a miniaturized version of the famous Boston Dynamics' Spot quadruped. Designed by Eric Yufeng, this small four-legged robot has all its parts, including ...

Even though biped robots get better and better all the time, many don't exactly have truly natural leg movements. One reason why comes down to the fact that robot legs, with the exception of a few ...

One of the most efficient ways for robots to move around the environment is wheels on relatively smooth terrain. However, wheels aren't the most efficient way of traveling when it comes to getting ...

Part 1 of a three-part series unpacks how a researcher strives to improve performance by merging neuroscience and human motor control with robotics and artificial intelligence. The first objective is ...

Humans have always admired horses for their strength, grace, and versatility. Now, scientists and engineers at Kawasaki Heavy Industries have decided it’s time for a mechanical twist on this natural ...

Compared to robots, human bodies are flexible, capable of fine movements, and can convert energy efficiently into movement. Drawing inspiration from human gait, researchers from Japan crafted a ...

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent six days a week. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. Robotics engineers are one step closer to building a swarm of ...

Taking design inspiration from an ostrich, the BirdBot needs fewer motors than comparable legged robots. A few facts about ostriches: It took just a few million years for terrestrial birds to refine ...

Researchers in the US developed bipedal robots with a new design, the HybridLeg platform, ...

Robotic legs with an unconventional design inspired by emus can run 300 per cent more efficiently than the same device would if designed traditionally. The technology could be used in prosthetics and ...
