3D printing robot creates extreme shock-absorbing shape, with help of AI

See how an autonomous robot created a shock-absorbing shape no human ever could — and what it means for designing safer helmets, packaging, car bumpers, and more.

Wearable system captures human activity data for robot training

Humanoid robots, robotic systems with a body shape that resembles that of humans, could tackle various chores and everyday manual tasks. To successfully complete these tasks, however, the robots should be able to reliably coordinate their movements, posture and how they touch or grasp different objects.

Tiny, shape-shifting robot can squish itself into tight spaces

Imagine a robot that can wedge itself through the cracks in rubble to search for survivors trapped in the wreckage of a collapsed building. Engineers are working toward to that goal with CLARI, short for Compliant Legged Articulated Robotic Insect.

A better way to control shape-shifting soft robots

A new machine-learning technique can train and control a reconfigurable soft robot that can dynamically change its shape to complete a task. The researchers also built a simulator that can evaluate control algorithms for shape-shifting soft robots.
