Researchers show insect limbs can move without muscles. The finding could provide engineers to find additional ways to improve the control of robotic and prosthetic limbs.
A new prosthetic hand enables amputees to regain a subtle, close to natural, sense of touch.
A new article considers if it will be possible for artificial intelligence to mimic free will.
Researchers have developed flying microrobots that are able to perch during flight to save energy, just like bats, birds and insects.
Researchers are attempting to teach two-legged robots a stable, and robust human way of walking.
The NIH has awarded three projects $2.4 million over the next five years to develop innovative robots which work cooperatively with people and adapt to changing environments. The robotics will improve human capabilities and enhance medical procedures.
Researchers have developed a new robotic system than can help people to get dressed. The system relies on the force it feels to help guide a hospital gown onto a person's arm efficiently.
Researchers develop a method for electronically manipulating the flight muscles of moths.

··5 min readChildren consider technologies that pose an ambiguous threat as 'creepy'. Researchers pinpoint five aspects of technology that contribute to the feeling of ambiguity, examples of which are lack of control, ominous physical appearance and mimicry.
Researchers have developed a new soft robotic hand with numerous embedded fiber optic sensors and a new type of stretchable optical sensor. They believe incorporating the stretchable optical material into the hand could help provide more feedback.
Applying AI technology, researchers teach a robot to make appropriate reactive human facial expressions. Scientists say this could help build trust between humans and the humanoid robots they interact with.
New research allows those with robotic controlled prosthetic legs to walk almost as fast as an able bodied person.
