Researchers at MIT's Department of Mechanical Engineering have now developed a bio-inspired robotic bird capable of flying ...

Advances in robot design, actuation, and control have benefitted from biological inspiration, which has perhaps most influenced the soft robotics community. Furthermore, many scientists interested in ...

The field of paleo-inspired robotics is opening up a new way to turn back time and studying prehistoric animals. Paleontologists aren’t easily deterred by evolutionary dead ends or a sparse fossil ...

The transition from water to land is one of the most significant events in the history of life on Earth. Now, a team of roboticists, paleontologists and biologists is using robots to study how the ...
