MIT engineers developed an insect-sized jumping robot that can traverse challenging terrains and carry heavy payloads.

SPROUT, developed by Lincoln Laboratory and University of Notre Dame researchers, is a vine robot capable of navigating under collapsed structures.

No robot can match a squirrel’s ability to leap from limb to limb—until now. Check out video of the robot in action.

“Xstrings” method enables users to produce cable-driven objects, automatically assemble bionic robots, sculptures, and dynamic fashion designs.

The system uses reconfigurable electromechanical building blocks to create structural electronics.

MIT engineers developed a way to grow artificial tissues that look and act like their natural counterparts.

New research could allow a person to correct a robot’s actions in real-time, using the kind of feedback they’d give another human.

Governments around the world have barely started thinking about the safety issues of the upcoming robotics revolution.

"Our design showcases how soft actuators—rather than traditional motors—allow for a very lightweight and comfortable wearable device."

"Treatments for vision disorders are rapidly advancing. We need to give surgeons better ability to keep up with them."
