A team from the University of Sheffield has turned a long-standing weakness in robotics into a key strength. Led by Dr. Lin Cao from the university’s School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, ...

Underwater robots face many challenges before they can truly master the deep, such as stability in choppy currents. A new ...

A research team led by Dr. Lin Cao from the University of Sheffield's School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering has reimagined one of robotics' long-standing flaws as a breakthrough ...

Researchers have developed small robots that can work together as a collective that changes shape and even shifts between solid and “fluid-like” states — a concept that should be familiar to anyone ...

Scientists have designed swarms of microscopic robots that communicate and coordinate using sound waves, much like bees or birds. These self-organizing micromachines can adapt to their surroundings, ...

We’re talking about composites, which are basically materials made from two or more different components. Think of it like a ...

Robotics manufacturer Apptronik announced this week that it has signed a strategic collaboration agreement with design and manufacturing giant Jabil to build, test, and deploy Apptronik’s Apollo ...

Robots need to move, right? That’s where actuators and motors come in. Think of them as the muscles and joints of a robot.
