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,

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

World's Fastest Robot
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. From

Young Inventors' Firefighting Robots Are More than Just Fun Toys
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 ... > 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 -
Roboticists Create Rover To Move And Drill On The Moon
Engineers and robiticists created a robot to explore the moon. Running on the same amount of power as a 100-watt light bulb the rover uses heat from radiation to support its sensors, movement, and ... > more -
Mechanical Engineers Design System To Retrain Motor Pathways After Strokes
Using a technology called haptics, mechanical engineers can design physical therapies that reestablish motor pathways broken down by strokes. A motorized joystick guides patients to move their hands ... > more -
Computer Scientists And Engineers Design A Car Driven By Computers
Computer scientists and engineers worked together to create a robotic car that can operate autonomously. Computers process information from the navigation system, laser sensors, and video cameras to ... > more
