Researchers have used artificial intelligence methods to design ‘living robots,’ made from two types of frog cells. The ‘xenobots,’ named for the Xenopus genus of frogs, can move, push objects, and ...

Driving robots around a field of obstacles might look like fun. But for soldiers in combat, those robots perform the dirty, dusty and dangerous jobs that save lives. As engineer Francis Govers of ...

So, you need a robot that climbs stairs. What shape should that robot be? Should it have two legs, like a person? Or six, like an ant? Choosing the right shape will be vital for your robot's ability ...

The AI-designed robot has three legs, rear fins, a flat face and is riddled with holes — something a human engineer would never conceive. Inventor of xenobots unveils new advance toward artificial ...

Team develops a pioneering AI capable of designing functional robots from scratch. The AI created a walking robot within seconds, showcasing a remarkable acceleration in design processes. Unlike ...
