Forget clunky metal limbs and tangled wires — the future of robotics might just be squishy, wobbly, and ready to walk right off your desktop. Researchers from the University of Edinburgh have pulled off something remarkable: they've created…

There’s a kind of magic in watching a machine come to life. Usually, though, it takes a tangle of wires, a careful hand, and plenty of code to make that happen. But what if a robot could spring into action—no electronics required—the moment…

As the commercial space industry expands, one of the biggest challenges remains: how to construct large-scale structures in orbit without being limited by the size of a rocket’s cargo fairing. DARPA’s Novel Orbital and Moon Manufacturing,…

Efficient Power Conversion (EPC) has unveiled the EPC91104, a cutting-edge 3-phase BLDC motor drive inverter reference design. Designed to power compact and precision motors, the EPC91104 is ideal for humanoid robotics, supporting intricate…

On the opening day of CES 2025, Old World Labs (OWL) unveiled its groundbreaking advancements in "Agents as a Service" technology, demonstrating how these state-of-the-art AI systems seamlessly integrate into humanoid robots and virtual…

Cornell researchers have developed the smallest walking robot yet, capable of independent movement and designed to interact with visible light at the microscale. These robots, measuring just 2 to 5 microns, combine microrobotics and optical…

Meet Proxie, the latest creation from Collaborative Robotics—a robot designed to transform the way industries handle their toughest material handling tasks. With its debut, Proxie has already caught the attention of some major players,…

Microchip’s PolarFire FPGA Ethernet Sensor Bridge brings together cutting-edge low-power technology and multi-protocol sensor support to address the challenges of real-time data processing at the edge. As the first solution in Microchip’s…

In 2013, a Carnegie Mellon University team called "Epiphany" released a small game on the Ouya, an Android-based micro-console developed via Kickstarter. They called their game "It Takes Two," and in it, a circle and a square must…

Meet STAR1, a bipedal robot from Robot Era in China. The robot measures 5 feet 7 inches and weighs in at 143 lbs. Oh, and it can run over 8 mph, so it’s the fastest in its class to date. It’s secret? A pair of sneakers and a little bit of…
