Each robot costs only a single penny to manufacture. The robots could help advance everything from nanotechnology ...

Autonomous free-flying robots aboard the International Space Station (ISS) frequently lose their bearings. Without gravity to distinguish up from down, even precision sensors suffer from accumulating ...

Robot companies are racing toward a breakout year, but they'll have to confront some fundamental problems before making ...

Robots are great tools for manufacturing and assembly processes that require motion, such as cutting, welding, dispensing, sanding and painting. They are less good at machining solid steel or ...

Robots have been used in manufacturing since the 1960s. What is new is the application of AI, which potentially gives robots much more powerful analytical, cognitive, and learning capabilities. AI is ...

The newest frontier in robotics is almost invisible to the naked eye. Researchers have built a robot smaller than a grain of salt that can not only move through its environment but also sense what is ...

Instead of shutting down to recharge, the Walker S2 walks to a nearby swap station. When one battery starts to run low, the robot turns its torso, uses built-in tools on its arms and removes the ...

Otis developed APIs allowing autonomous robots to communicate with and navigate elevators in commercial buildings.
