A fairy-like robot flies by the power of wind and light

The loss of pollinators, such as bees, is a huge challenge for global biodiversity and affects humanity by causing problems in food production. Researchers have now developed the first passively flying robot equipped with artificial muscle. Could this artificial fairy be utilized in pollination?

Robot see, robot do: System learns after watching how-to videos

Cornell University researchers have developed a new robotic framework powered by artificial intelligence—called RHyME (Retrieval for Hybrid Imitation under Mismatched Execution)—that allows robots to learn tasks by watching a single how-to video.

A new twist on artificial ‘muscles’ for safer, softer robots

Engineers have developed a new soft, flexible device that makes robots move by expanding and contracting -- just like a human muscle. To demonstrate their new device, called an actuator, the researchers used it to create a cylindrical, worm-like soft robot and an artificial bicep. In experiments, the cylindrical soft…

Newly developed robot can play the drums, listen and learn

It seems simple: The robot ZRob, a small machine easily placed on a table, holds a drumstick and beats a drum. In reality, it is anything but simple. ZRob's arm has a flexible grip, just like the human wrist. It also has an artificial intelligence (AI) that helps it optimize…
