Robots don’t stroll, at least not in science fiction movies. They more often than not lumber or, in the case of C-3PO, shuffle. But thanks to scientists at the University of Arizona, you might one day ...

Humans have always admired horses for their strength, grace, and versatility. Now, scientists and engineers at Kawasaki Heavy Industries have decided it’s time for a mechanical twist on this natural ...

Future robots could soon have a lot more muscle power. Northwestern University engineers have developed a soft artificial muscle, paving the way for untethered animal- and human-scale robots. The new ...

Your brain might be lying to you about your new robotic leg. New research shows that users often think they're walking much better—or worse—than they actually are.

Most robots rely on rigid, bulky parts that limit their adaptability, strength, and safety in real-world environments. Researchers developed soft, battery-powered artificial muscles inspired by human ...

A commercial robotic leg could potentially benefit both higher- and lower-mobility amputees, University of Michigan roboticists have shown for the first time. The leg provided the largest gains when ...

Current robots still do not walk as smoothly and naturally as humans. Scientists are using new technologies to make robots more flexible, natural, and lifelike. Actuators are the main force that moves ...

Phantom Neuro is developing a muscle-machine interface that allows individuals – particularly those with limb loss or motor impairments – to intuitively control advanced robotic systems like ...

What if your next off-road ride wasn’t on a motorcycle or ATV but on a robot that moves like a wolf? Kawasaki Heavy Industries has introduced something that feels straight out of a video game: CORLEO, ...

April 20 (UPI) --Twenty-one two-legged robots took the streets against human competitors in a first-of-its kind humanoid half-marathon in China Saturday, but technical breakdowns left them in the dust ...
