Investors are pouring billions into companies pitching humanoid robots, but functional versions are decades away.

HydroSpread, a breakthrough fabrication method, lets scientists build ultrathin soft robots directly on water. These tiny, ...

This group of insects has the ability to walk on top of water, using surface tension and long, hydrophobic legs. For decades, roboticists have tried to emulate this impressive ability. Building ...

Rodney Brooks says humanoid robots pose hidden safety challenges and won't learn dexterity from video alone.

Abstract: Mobility in daily unstructured environments, particularly in human-centered scenarios, remains a fundamental challenge for mobile robots. While traditional prediction-based approaches ...

Abstract: Accurate localization is essential for robot autonomous navigation. The localization methods that rely overly on the global navigation satellite system (GNSS) are not reliable in urban ...
