Researchers used a robotic lab to mix unconventional ingredients in just the right order to make complex materials for batteries.

Finding inspiration in natural herd mentality, researchers have created "smart swarms" of microscopic robots.

One of the most invasive species on the planet, the apple snail, has inspired a robot that could help suck microplastics out of water.

ANYmal, a four-legged robot, can negotiate pitfalls and move over tricky terrain. And now it's learned parkour.

“We’ve sent the robot to make an incision before, but this is the first time we’ve done a bulk resection and taken a tumor out fully."

A new version of artificial muscles for robots and other applications offers several advantages over previous technologies, researchers say.

Two tiny robots may be the smallest, lightest, and fastest fully functional micro-robots ever created, researchers report.

A new soft robot design can roll forward, spin like a record, and follow a path that orbits around a central point all on its own.

Stimulating people's brains with gentle electric currents can boost learning for doctors working with surgery robots, researchers say.

Researchers have, for the first time, printed a robotic hand with bones, ligaments, and tendons made of different polymers.
