Humans aren't the only game in town when it comes to robotics. In the past few years, researchers have been using animals to control and influence robots. From virtual reality to brain-computer ...

The "Morphobot" will be able to transform to get into inaccessible environments. A real-life transforming robot designed to mimic the movement of animals that roam Planet Earth will eventually change ...

BRISTOL, R.I. (WJAR/CNN Newsource/WKRC) - A company is creating robotic pets to combat loneliness in veterans who cannot otherwise take care of a pet. A veterans home was gifted a shipment of dogs and ...

With the help of a form of machine learning called deep reinforcement learning (DRL), the EPFL robot notably learned to transition from trotting to pronking – a leaping, arch-backed gait used by ...

A pet dog sits on command, but nobody expects an insect to follow human instructions. So it may come as a surprise to learn that researchers recently succeeded in controlling cockroaches with tiny ...

Robotics engineers have worked for decades and invested many millions of research dollars in attempts to create a robot that can walk or run as well as an animal. And yet, it remains the case that ...

What makes many animals run faster and better than robots or humans? Robots run faster than humans due to better agility, robustness, and range. Believe it or not, robot cockroaches can assist ...
