Study Proves Gait of Six-Legged Robots is Faster than Nature-Inspired Gait

A team of scientists from EPFL and UNIL have discovered a swifter and more efficient gait, which has never been witnessed in nature, for six-legged robots walking on flat ground.

Researchers Share Design for Building Walking and Swimming Bio-Bots at 2017 AAAS Annual Meeting

Creating tiny muscle-powered robots that can walk or swim by themselves -- or better yet, when prompted -- is more complicated than it looks.

MIT Builds Transparent, Gel-Based Robots Capable of Evading Underwater Detection

Transparent, gel-based robots that are capable of moving when water is pumped in and out of them have been developed by engineers at MIT. The bots can carry out several fast, forceful tasks, including catching and releasing a live fish and kicking a ball underwater.

Nature-Inspired Robotic Bat for Aerial-Supervision of Construction Sites and Nuclear Reactors

For a long time, researchers and engineers have been fascinated by the unmatched agility and maneuvering abilities of bats, realized by its functionally versatile dynamic wing conformations as well as over forty passive and active joints on the wings.

Soft Actuator Makes it Easier to Design Robots That Mimic Biological Movements

Building a soft robot with the capacity to move organically - to twist like a wrist or bend like a finger - has always been a trial and error process.

Zebrafish Engage More with 3D-Moving Robotic Replicas than Other Stimuli, Research Finds

Authenticity is an important trait, and zebrafish take it especially seriously. An interdisciplinary team of researchers at the NYU Tandon School of Engineering discovered that zebrafish engage more with 3D-moving robotic models of themselves than with other stimuli.

Research Findings Could Contribute to Designs for Water-Skimming Robots

Water striders' ability to walk and jump on the surfaces of ponds and lakes has long amazed curious observers -- and inspired robot designers who want to mimic the bugs' talent. Now, scientists have measured for the first time key parameters that allow them to walk on water -- by studying their leg shadows.
