If you put a robot vacuum in a living room, it will meticulously map the baseboards. Move a single armchair, however, and the machine may spin in confused circles, trapped by its own digital blueprint ...

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

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 ...

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 ...
