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,

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 -
