Cranfield University researchers have built WANDER-bot, a 3D‑printed robot that runs entirely on wind energy. Movement uses no battery power, allowing long missions in hostile environments like deserts or polar regions. The simple, repairable design could one day help explore other planets or remote areas where humans cannot easily work.
Robots that learn by watching people usually cannot move faster than their teachers. Georgia Tech researchers have built SAIL, a new system that breaks this speed barrier. The tool allows robots to complete tasks like packing food and folding laundry three to four times faster than standard systems, all while staying safe and precise.
A dancing humanoid robot created a tense moment at a busy restaurant in California when it suddenly became difficult to
China’s industrial robot production has seen a sharp rise in early 2026, reflecting the country’s strong push towards automation and
China is testing a new kind of wearable robot that could change how soldiers move in extreme environments. The device
An elderly woman was taken to the hospital in Macau after being startled by a humanoid robot that suddenly appeared
Scientists at Argonne National Laboratory created an AI “adviser” that guides robotic labs to discover electronic materials faster. The system helped complete a complex materials study in just 64 experiments instead of 4,300. This human-AI collaboration could speed up development of wearable electronics, better batteries, and medical devices.
Researchers have developed a robotic hand with such delicate touch that it can pick up extremely fragile objects without damaging
University of Pennsylvania physicists taught microscopic swimming robots to navigate mazes using light patterns based on Einstein’s theory of relativity. The 100-micron robots follow “artificial space-time” created by light, solving the problem of guiding tiny machines without bulky electronics. The technology could lead to medical applications like dental checks or tumor removal within ten years.
The US Library of Congress has released a restored version of the world’s oldest film featuring a robot-like figure. The
