28 October 2015 | A study by engineers at Oregon State University suggests that they have achieved the most realistic robotic implementation of human walking dynamics that has ever been done, which may ultimately allow human-like versatility and performance. The system is based on a concept called “spring-mass” walking that was theorized less than a […]
28 October 2015 | Yamaha surprised to visitors at the 44th Tokyo Motor Show today by resealing video of bike riding humanoid robot – MotoBot. In video, Yamaha’s new MotoBot is riding Yamaha’s most sporting motorcycle, the 1000cc R1M.

04 October 2015 | Team’s silicone rubber gripper can pick up egg, CD & paper, and identify objects by touch alone Robots have many strong suits, but delicacy traditionally hasn’t been one of them. Rigid limbs and digits make it difficult for them to grasp, hold, and manipulate a range of everyday objects without dropping […]
01 October 2015 | Researchers at EPFL have come up with a folding, reconfigurable robot that is capable of crawling and jumping. Modelled on the inchworm, it represents a new paradigm in robotics. The word robot generally conjures up images of a rigid structure and electronic motors. In Jamie Paik’s Reconfigurable Robotics Laboratory, however, the […]
