After submerging the robot in underwater tunnels designed to mimic swimming near the sea floor, their tests indicate that ...

Biologists and engineers have joined forces to build a new robot bat that’s helping us understand how real bats use ...

Researchers made a robot bat that demonstrates how real bats use echolocation to find prey at night, contributing to the fields of biology, engineering, and robotics.

Researchers at the University of Tokyo and their collaborators have developed a digital laboratory system that fully automates the material synthesis and the structural and physical property ...

Nature is, of course, the master engineer—been there, seen it, solved it. While we struggle to design buildings that don't ...

A small robotic surgeon was successfully launched to the International Space Station last week. It was joined by a bunch of equally impressive experiments, including machine learning devices and ...

Scientists have built microscopic, light-powered robots that can think, swim, and operate independently at the scale of ...

Machine-learning models can speed up the discovery of new materials by making predictions and suggesting experiments. But most models today only consider a few specific types of data or variables.

Researchers in the the labs of Ron Alterovitz, a Lawrence Grossberg Distinguished Professor in the Department of Computer Science, and Jim Cahoon, a professor and chair of the Department of Chemistry, ...

A competition calling for research projects involving so-called AI scientists shows just how fast this technology is moving.

Robotic surgery has dramatically improved surgical precision, but it could also help surgeons treat people on the other side of the world. A surgeon in Florida has now used a robot to remove a ...
