Ayesha Rascoe speaks to Harvard researcher Sam Kriegman about xenobots, the self-replicating robots he helped create.
Get ready to be amazed and possibly a bit horrified. Scientists have created a robot that can reproduce. Yes, you heard me right. This week, four researchers published a paper that describes what sounds like a scene from a sci-fi movie.
You've got to watch this all-star team of robots celebrating Christmas
In need of some Christmas cheer? Look no further than this amazing video from the Faculty of Electrical Engineering at the Czech Technical University (CTU) in Prague that has an all-star team of robots stealing the spotlight.
To celebrate the holidays, researchers from CTU brought together agile mobile SPOT robots from Boston Dynamics; mechanical, beetle-like robotic bugs Scarab and Daisy; crawler robot Charlie; wheeled robot Husky; balancing robot SK80 ( developed in-house by graduate students at CTU); humanoid
These Liquid Robots Never Run Out of Juice as Long as They Have Food

W hen you think of a robot, images of R2-D2 or C-3PO might come to mind. But robots can serve up more than just entertainment on the big screen. In a lab, for example, robotic systems can improve safety and efficiency by performing repetitive tasks and handling harsh chemicals.
Step by step, area teachers learn coding with Lego robots
With a goal of helping create a high level of technical ability in today's youth, a group of middle school educators recently converged in Hays to take advantage of a program that breaks down complex engineering and computing problems into a diminutive — some might say cute — Lego robot coding
A soft jig that could enhance the performance of general-purpose assembly robots
As robots become increasingly advanced, they are being trained to complete a wide variety of tasks.
"Our soft jig is inspired by a soft robotic gripper called jamming gripper that has been getting a lot of attention from robotics researchers," Takuya Kiyokawa, one of the researchers who carried out the study, told TechXplore.
Knightscope IPO taking security robots public
Knightscope , a Mountain View, Calif.-based developer of autonomous security robots, is going public on the NASDAQ under the ticker symbol “KSCP.” Knightscope will be offering $40 million of Class A common stock at $10 per share.
Knightscope plans to use the proceeds from the initial public offering (IPO) to continue to scale its fleet of security robots and to invest in new technologies. The company has a line of four security robots, ranging from a stationary robot to an all-terrain one .
This Robot Looks Like a Pancake and Jumps Like a Maggot - The New York Times
But legs, it turns out, are not necessary for something as flat as a flapjack to hop around. A group of scientists has designed a tortilla-shaped robot that can jump several times per second and higher than seven times its body height of half a centimeter.
Shuguang Li, a roboticist at Harvard who was not involved with the research, called the new robot "a clever idea" and "an important contribution to the soft robotics field."
A system for designing and training intelligent soft robots | MIT News | Massachusetts Institute
Let's say you wanted to build the world's best stair-climbing robot. You'd need to optimize for both the brain and the body, perhaps by giving the bot some high-tech legs and feet, coupled with a powerful algorithm to enable the climb.
Although design of the physical body and its brain, the "control," are key ingredients to letting the robot move, existing benchmark environments favor only the latter.
The new generation of KraussMaffei LRX linear robots | Plastics News
• Conquer challenging injection molding processes in record time
• Energy savings of up to 20% with EcoMode
• New handheld pendant provides more information and user-friendliness
The new generation of KraussMaffei LRX linear robots grows with your requirements. Three key benefits for plastics processors are the wide selection of axis lengths and wrist axes, optimal integration of peripherals and great flexibility in complex, challenging injection molding processes.
