A robot to explore the unknown and automate tomorrow’s tasks and the ones after them needs to be extremely versatile. Ideally, it was capable of being any size, any shape, and any functionality, ...

In the future, our aircraft, buildings, and homes may be constructed by robots similar to the prototype structure-building robot BILL-E. This innovative robot was created by graduate student Benjamin ...

Researchers at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne (EPFL) have unveiled a novel robotic structure, the "trimmed helicoid," inspired by the movements of elephant trunks and octopus ...

It seems like an ideal--and adventurous--match: innovative architectural firm Gramazio & Kohler, known for using robots to assemble buildings, team up with inventor Raffaello D'Andrea, whose ...

It might be difficult to tell from the picture, but you’re looking at a robot that is capable of building and disassembling simple truss structures. We’ll let that sink in for a moment. [Jeremy Blum] ...

Researchers are looking for ways to avoid rigid robot joints. One possibility is to deform material specifically through heat ...

Although this robotic arm probably won’t make anybody cry, it is pretty darn amazing. The components, which look anime-like in its cords and pipes and metal structure, are designed to mimic your ...

Ensuring the structural safety of bridges, tunnels, construction machinery, and other critical infrastructure is essential for public safety, economic stability, and environmental protection.
