Biologists and engineers have joined forces to build a new robot bat that’s helping us understand how real bats use ...

Measuring just 200 by 300 by 50 micrometers — smaller than a grain of salt and roughly the size of a single-celled paramecium ...

Researchers have created microscopic robots so small they’re barely visible, yet smart enough to sense, decide, and move completely on their own. Powered by light and equipped with tiny computers, the ...

Researchers at the University of Tokyo and their collaborators have developed a digital laboratory system that fully automates the material synthesis and the structural and physical property ...

Researchers in the the labs of Ron Alterovitz, a Lawrence Grossberg Distinguished Professor in the Department of Computer Science, and Jim Cahoon, a professor and chair of the Department of Chemistry, ...

Automakers are racing to build the first car plant where robots, not people, handle every task from welding to final ...

It’s well understood that spiders have poor eyesight and thus sense the vibrations in their webs whenever prey (like a fly) gets caught; the web serves as an extension of their sensory system. But ...

China's Shenzhou-21 astronauts have continued scientific work aboard the space station over the past week. Mission commander ...

It's always comforting to find a familiar face in strange and potentially hostile settings. That's especially true if it's a spooky abandoned Weyland-Yutani space station called the Renaissance where ...

In four years, Nick Morales (MSR ‘23) went from watching a rover landing on the Red Planet to pioneering lunar robotics. As millions watched the Perseverance rover make its dramatic descent onto Mars ...
