The researchers have designed robot legs that run on fewer motors than comparable machines and could, theoretically, scale to large size. Their energy-efficient robotic model, called BirdBot ...

Scientists at Norway's University of Oslo have developed a four-legged robot that can adjust its leg length and walking gait on the fly as it encounters different surfaces, improving its energy ...

Most existing robots designed to move on the ground rely on either wheels or legs, as opposed to a combination of the two.

The research team, led by Robert Katzschmann from ETH Zurich’s Soft Robotics Lab and Christoph Keplinger from MPI-IS, has modelled the robotic leg on the human musculoskeletal system.

They flip, fold, and dance, but humanoid robots are burning more energy than humans on simple tasks. Experts say the flaw is ...

Robotic prosthetics for patients with leg amputations, smart glasses for patients with vision loss and brain-machine interfaces are all examples.

RoboGrammar is a new system that automates and optimizes robot design. The system creates arthropod-inspired robots for traversing a variety of terrains. It could spawn more inventive robot forms ...

The robots serve as examples of how academic research can translate into real-world applications. Read more at straitstimes.com. Read more at straitstimes.com.
