Researchers have created a tiny, shape-shifting robot that swims, crawls, and glides freely in the deep sea. Developed by a team at the Beihang University in China, the robot operated at a depth of 10 ...

Researchers from Ben Gurion University in the Negev, Israel, have designed a reconfigurable crawling robot that can shift its shape to traverse different terrains. Known as DSTAR, the robot’s video ...

Leiden researchers Professor Daniela Kraft and Mengshi Wei have created microscopic robots that move without sensors, ...

But shape-shifting robots, which are controlled by magnetic fields, can dynamically squish, bend, or elongate their entire bodies. "Such a robot could have thousands of small pieces of muscle to ...

Researchers have created microscale robots less than 1 millimeter in size that are printed as a 2D hexagonal 'metasheet' but, with a jolt of electricity, morph into preprogrammed 3D shapes and crawl.

Chinese authorities and industrialists have long hoped to unseat the United States as the world's premier tech giant, but they've historically struggled to make inroads against Silicon Valley ...

If a robot is going to excel at traversing multiple types of terrain, it shouldn't have an unadaptable "Jack of all trades, master of none" body shape. That's where the GOAT robot comes in, as it ...
