Robotics makers have faced the persistent challenge of making machines that function in the same way that humans do — earlier this month, Boston Dynamics revealed a robot that could backflip. But even ...

Researchers have developed artificial tendons for muscle-powered robots. They attached the rubber band-like tendons (blue) to ...

Assuming that the price of Tiffen’s soon-to-be-released Smoothee iPhone Steadicam would be beyond his budget, Babyology writer Ben Gurnsberg built this amazing iPhone steadicam robotic arm out of ...

Toward the rear of the office, an engineer is working on a metal hand. It looks human enough — roughly the same size with four fingers and a thumb. The Figure team is methodically testing every piece ...

What if living muscle could power machines with the same force and precision as engineered actuators? Engineers at MIT have made an advance toward that dream reality by fabricating artificial tendons ...

Meet Pleurobot, a bio-inspired robot whose life-like movement looks exactly like that of a salamander. This is no hyperbole, you'll have to see for yourself to believe. Constructed by ingenious team ...

A combination of cultured cells and silicone could help robots appear more human in future thanks to realistic skin elasticity. And they can smile like us too. When you purchase through links on our ...
