Researchers have developed an artificial intelligence (AI) system that enables a four-legged robot to adapt its gait to different, unfamiliar terrain, just like a real animal, in what is believed to ...

Many of the robotic systems developed in the past decades are inspired by four-legged (i.e., quadruped) animals, such as dogs, cheetahs and horses. By replicating the agile movements of these animals, ...

It has been a good long while since I had a nice rant about the rise of robot overlords, so I think I’m entitled to ask this question again: why do scientists keep doing this? What do they have ...

Real guppies respond to Robofish—a 3D-printed plastic model with a vaguely realistic paint job—as if it were a real schoolmate. Researchers used different-sized Robofish to show that guppy schools ...

Humans aren't the only game in town when it comes to robotics. In the past few years, researchers have been using animals to control and influence robots. From virtual reality to brain-computer ...
