Fluid robot motion is the result of design choices among five options including pneumatics and strain wave gears.

The robot dog, which has been programmed with the intrinsic movement method, tends to jump and move much faster and more dynamically than its siblings, which rely on more conventional movement ...

Over the past two decades, humanoid robots have greatly improved their ability to perform functions like grasping objects and using computer vision to detect things since Honda’s release of the ASIMO ...

Trust between humans and robots is improved when the movement between both is harmonised, researchers have discovered. These findings could improve the success of real-world human-robot teams, helping ...

Humans pay enormous attention to lips during conversation, and robots have struggled badly to keep up. A new robot developed ...

Kaveh Hamed shares a photo of his six-year-old dog Telli in high-speed motion, a source of inspiration for his bio-inspired thinking around legged locomotion. Two years ago, Kaveh Hamed saw his son ...

The achievement addresses one of the biggest obstacles in humanoid design: facial motion that looks off. While robotics has ...
