There were no robots available for the class. But when Don Davis and Brian Guy were approached by undergraduates in the engineering technology robotics class for support, they found a way to improve ...

Robots are super interesting, but you probably shouldn’t start learning about them with a full-sized industrial SCARA arm or anything. Better to learn with something smaller and simpler to understand.

Inside a UNC-Chapel Hill Science lab sits an autonomous robot. Imagine a machine like a Roomba, but with an arm, so it can pick up things like a dirty sock off the floor. A group of researchers from ...

Ants do not need a foreman to raise a city. Working with little more than local cues, they excavate tunnels, pile up soil, ...

From R2-D2 to Optimus Prime, Wall-E to The Iron Giant, robots have long captured our collective imaginations. In today’s world, their influence is far less limited to fictional settings; robotics are ...

From speaking with leaders in industry and academia, we know that our students are hired by companies and invited to join prestigious labs based on the strength of their portfolios. Therefore, instead ...

As technology improves, researchers slowly bridge the gap between prosthetics and human limbs: Scientists have developed a prosthetic hand that lets users feel temperatures and bionic legs that move ...

At less than one and a half inches tall, roughly the same height as a LEGO minifigure, the world's smallest self-contained bipedal robot can self-start from standstill, walk faster than a half mile ...

Over 70% of global GDP falls within AI and robotics enablement scope. The convergence of bits (digital) controlling atoms (physical) represents not just an economic opportunity but a fundamental ...
