AI researchers at Andon Labs embedded various LLMs in a vacuum robot to test how ready they were to be embodied. And hilarity ensued.

How about making a simple robot built with an inverted pendulum mechanism? The robot would balance on two wheels and uses a simple switch and sensor circuit. This would help beginners to get a hang of ...

How advanced actuators, compliance control, and real-time planning create capable, safe humanoid collaborators.

The robot was able to sew six stitches all on its own—and has lessons for robotics as a whole. An AI-trained surgical robot that can make a few stitches on its own is a small step toward systems that ...

A swarm of small, wiggling robots that communicate by flashing lights at each other can make collective decisions. This is similar to the process bees use to reach consensus on where to build their ...

In one part of a laboratory in Bristol, UK, scientists are designing a nanoparticle swarm that will be able to target and kill tumour cells intelligently. Interactions between the tiny but simple ...

We visit the Chain Theater in New York for an exclusive look at Unitree's Go2 quadruped robot treading the boards. Jesse Orrall (he/him/his) is a Senior Video Producer for CNET. He covers future tech, ...
