Scientists have created a new kind of living robot that can build a simple nervous system, then use it to move in more complex ways. The research team at Tufts University and Harvard’s Wyss Institute ...

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 ...

The day is coming when you may walk past a robot and have no idea it was a robot. Over years of engineering, we've given ...

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 ...

Researchers have developed an autonomous system for seeking out and mapping hotspots of biodiversity on coral reefs with ...

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 ...

Have you ever wondered how our brave soldiers deal with nasty stuff like chemical and biological weapons? Currently, it's a risky and time-consuming process. Soldiers have to suit up in cumbersome NBC ...

(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 ...
