Robotic parts could be assembled into nimble spider bots for exploring lava tubes or heavy-duty elephant bots for transporting solar panels.

By keeping data fresh, the system could help robots inspect buildings or search disaster zones.

The system’s simple repeating elements can assemble into swimming forms ranging from eel-like to wing-shaped.

Study suggests a robot levy — but only a modest one — could help combat the effects of automation on income inequality in the U.S.

Researchers make progress toward groups of robots that could build almost anything, including buildings, vehicles, and even bigger robots.

Simple microparticles can beat rhythmically together, generating an oscillating electrical current that could be used to power microrobotic devices.

MIT researchers demonstrate an intracellular antenna that's compatible with 3D biological systems and can operate wirelessly inside a living cell.

Engineers 3D print materials with networks of sensors directly incorporated.

Neuroscience professor and Science Hub investigator Ted Adelson explains how simulating the sense of touch with a camera can make robots smarter.

This robotic system uses radio frequency signals, computer vision, and complex reasoning to efficiently find items hidden under a pile.
