Robot design commonly mimics the abilities of their human creators, but some researchers have been inspired by a possibly ...

Bees, ants, and termites build complex structures without blueprints, architects, or construction supervisors. Their colonies produce intricate hives and nests by relying on local cues like warmth, ...

My colleagues and I have built a robot composed of many building blocks like the cells of a multicellular organism. Without a “brain” or a central controller in the system, our robot, dubbed Loopy, ...

Sometimes robots can be better than humans at playing instruments. Sometimes they’re just cooler at it. This herd of little swarm robots—which divvy up the ...

In one part of a laboratory in Bristol, UK, scientists are designing a nanoparticle swarm that will be able to target and kill tumour cells intelligently. Interactions between the tiny but simple ...

Forget teaching robots to think like humans. A field called swarm robotics is taking inspiration from ants, bees and even slime molds—simple creatures that achieve remarkable feats through collective ...

[Hunter Adams] has written a secondary bootloader for the RP2040 that uses an IR link and can be extended to behave like a polite worm virus. This allows the easy updating of a large cluster of ...

Human dreams of mining asteroids won't become a reality without space robots. The billionaire-backed company Planetary Resources has announced plans to do the dirty, dangerous job of space mining with ...
