Researchers at a Chinese university have built a soft, human-inspired robot that can physically grow and shrink on command, mimicking the way human bones elongate during development. The robot, called ...

Chinese authorities and industrialists have long hoped to unseat the United States as the world's premier tech giant, but they've historically struggled to make inroads against Silicon Valley ...

EPFL roboticists have shown that when a modular robot shares power, sensing, and communication resources among its individual units, it is significantly more resistant to failure than traditional ...

If the goal of a robot is to perform a function, then minimizing the possibility of failure is a top priority when it comes to robotic design. But this minimization is at odds with the robotic raison ...
