The Future Of Robots
Engineers built humanoid
robots that can recognize
objects by color by
processing information from
a camera mounted on the
robot's head. The robots are
programmed to play soccer,
with the intention of

Robotic Bugs
Researchers have developed a
flexible, sensor-laden
artificial antenna to help a
robotic "bug" move and
navigate just like the
common cockroach. The bug
can curry along walls, turn
corners, avoid obstacles,

Battle of the 'Bots
At an international
high-school contest based in
Connecticut, students
compete with their home-made
robots. The goal for the
robots is to navigate a
maze, find a fire, and put
it out in the shortest

Robots: The Next Generation
Engineers at MIT Humanoid
Robotics Group have
developed a robot called
Domo that can adapt to
situations to assist people
with everyday chores,
everyday life, everyday

Computational Neuroscientists And Engineers Build Robot That Teaches Itself To Walk Up And Down Hills
Computational neuroscientists designed a robot that teaches itself how to walk on differing terrain. The RunBot uses an infrared eye to detect slopes, and adjusts its gait for the smoothest walk. ... > more -
Engineering Students Build Next-Generation Bathyscaphe
Computer, electrical, and mechanical engineering students at the University of Florida have built a fully automated underwater vehicle. Driven by five thrusters and controlled by complex electronics, ... > more -
Biomedical Engineers 'Arm' Surgeons For Highly Precise Knee Resurfacing With Robot
Biomedical engineers developed a robotic arm to very precisely resurface the knee before replacing it. In order to do this, a 3-D image of the knee is generated, providing a live-action view of the ... > more -
Robotic Camera Will Take Motion X-Rays by Following Patients' Movements
Orthopedic injuries are among the most common reasons people visit the doctor. Whether it's pain in the knee, hip or shoulder, doctors have a difficult time making an exact diagnosis without surgery. ... > more -
Mimicking Insects to Avoid Sinking Using Surface Tension
A new robot made of ultralight carbon-fiber can stand or slowly walk on water. The principle it uses is borrowed from insects -- surface tension tends to prevent the water's surface from breaking, ... > more -
Doctors and Engineers Develop Virtual-Reality Recovery for Stroke Victims
Stroke survivors can often recover the use of a paralyzed arm, but it's a slow process. This could become easier with a new system made of a robotic arm and virtual reality software. The robot ... > more -
1,400 Students Showcase Inventions at Science and Engineering Fair
Some of the nation's most talented students converged on Phoenix on May 8-13 to show their inventions at the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair, the world's largest competition of its ... > more -
Physicists Create Insect-imitating Robot To Scoot Over Unstable Surfaces
Physicists studied the movement of animals that are mobile on loose surfaces like sand, mud, and gravel in order to design a robot capable of moving on shifty ground. The robot is based on a common ... > more -
