A research team has developed an "intelligent artificial muscle" capable of simultaneously performing sensing and actuation ...

We’re used to thinking about robots has metal boxes with rigid steel arms and legs – the kind of things you would see in a 1980s movie – not in the average home or business space. But that’s quickly ...

A brand-new engineering approach to generate "designer" biological robots using human lung cells is underway in Carnegie Mellon University's Ren lab. Referred to as AggreBots, these microscale living ...

Developmental biologists at Tufts University in Massachusetts have produced what they call “neurobots”, small clumps of cells that can swim through water and are made from a combination of embryonic ...

(BOSTON) — Biobots, whose growing line of variants started with Xenobots, are fascinating tiny self-powered living robots built exclusively using frog embryonic cells. Originally developed in the ...

Engineers at MIT have devised an ingenious new way to produce artificial muscles for soft robots that can flex in more than one direction, similar to the complex muscles in the human body. The team ...

Watch our interview with Professor Kevin Warwick, School of Systems Engineering, and Dr Ben Whalley, School of Pharmacy (WAV – 57MB) A multidisciplinary team at the University of Reading has developed ...

In 2020, researchers engineered living, programmable organisms from Xenopus laevis, calling them xenobots, which could self-assemble and even reproduce. Building on this work, scientists later ...
