Daniela Rus, a professor of computer science and engineering at MIT and a principal investigator at its Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Lab (CSAIL), is working on yet another innovative ...

If a robot is trying to traverse rugged, irregular terrain, it's limited by having just one body shape. The Tetraflex robot was designed with this fact in mind, as it can change shape to adopt ...

The idea of a single robot that can transform into three different machines sounds like science fiction, but it is already ...

Researchers from Ben Gurion University in the Negev, Israel, have designed a reconfigurable crawling robot that can shift its shape to traverse different terrains. Known as DSTAR, the robot’s video ...

Formless 'slime' robots that shape-change to complete complex tasks – it sounds like science fantasy. However, MIT researchers have developed a machine-learning technique that brings shape-changing ...

Scientists have designed a tiny, shape-shifting "spider-bot" that can passively manipulate its body as it navigates its environment. The arachnid-inspired robot is a precursor to a bot that could one ...

A tiny magnetic robot which can take 3D scans from deep within the body, that could revolutionize early cancer detection, has been developed by researchers. The team say this is the first time it has ...
