Terrain classification is a critical research area in mobile robotics, enabling machines to adapt their locomotion and navigation strategies to diverse environmental conditions. Recent advancements ...

Sometimes nature provides the best blueprints for building effective robots. It also can provide the best material. Billions of years of natural selection has built some pretty impressive machinery, ...

An anthrobot is shown, depth colored, with a corona of cilia that provides locomotion for the bot. Xenobots—a new classification of robots built from biological cells—evolved from theory to reality in ...

For decades we’ve been trying to make the robots smarter and more physically capable by mimicking biological intelligence and movement. “But in doing so, we’ve been just replicating the results of ...
