Scientists created robots controlled by signals come from mycelia - the branching underground networks that support mushrooms ...

Advanced sensor suite: Includes 10 different sensors, for things such as rotation, acceleration, sensing and responding to ambient light, sending and receiving infrared signals. Robot-to-robot ...

University of Colorado Boulder Professor Nicole Xu is developing biohybrid robotic jellyfish by integrating tiny ...

Researchers at Virginia Tech are developing a way to use computer algorithms and sensors to help robot animals move more naturally like their real-life counterparts. Kaveh Hamed and his colleagues ...

Inspired by animal locomotion, researchers developed a framework enabling robots to traverse complex, high-risk terrains without extra-perceptive sensors or rough terrain training.

But making a robot dog useful means balancing a series of needs. This includes the desire to have the robot guide its own navigation, the machine’s utility as a pack animal, and the sensor payload it ...

A robot able to “smell” using a biological sensor The researchers say that the biological sensor sensitivity to smell is 10,000 times higher than that of existing electronic devices.

The team is working on artificial “flow sensors” that can be added to robots, creating bendable systems that vibrate in the wind. Receptors at the base of the whisker can then be read and ...

This novel robot was developed as part of an instrument developed under NSF MRI 1450342 and is used by projects in the NSF Center for Robots and Sensors for the Human Well Being (RoSeHUB) NSF 1439717.

SPCA educators show students video footage of real animals and talk about why and how these animals are special, drawing comparisons between the sensor packages in the robots and the nature-made ...

Humans have worked alongside animals for centuries. So why are we so obsessed with comparing robots to ourselves?

Virginia Tech researchers think they can do better. They're developing a combination of algorithms and sensors that help robots move with gaits more like those of real animals.
