The size and configuration of that polygon varies, depending on the task for which the robot is required. Among other things, it can walk on four legs, form itself into a robotic arm, or roll like a ...

Bioinspired underwater robots that swim by undulating their bodies may be more energy-efficient than their rigid counterparts, but they're also quite difficult to build. That could soon change however ...

Modularity is taking off in more ways than one in space exploration. The design of the upcoming "Lunar Gateway" space station is supposed to be modular, with different modules being supplied by ...
