Research published by the American Psychological Association indicates that if you’re working alongside robots, you may be experiencing job burnout and workplace incivility. Their suggestion? Self-affirmation techniques may help alleviate…

Robotics and wearable devices might soon be smarter with the addition of a stretchy, wearable synaptic transistor developed by Penn State engineers. Working like neurons in the brain to send signals to some cells and inhibit others to…

UC San Diego nanoengineers developed microrobots that swim around in lungs, deliver meds, and can clear up life-threatening cases of bacterial pneumonia. Breathe easy – so far, they've just tested this in mice. They published their results…

The Mars Perseverance Rover has been probing Mars' 30-mile-wide Jezero crater. In the journal Science Advances, a research team's data reveals that rock layers beneath the crater's floor, observed by the rover's ground-penetrating radar,…

Hearing the word "spider" prompts a negative reaction for many of us. Not so for Rice University engineers that are repurposing deceased spiders as mechanical grippers that can blend into natural environments while picking up objects that…

University of Tokyo researchers created a controllable robotic finger covered with living skin tissue. It has living cells and supporting organic material grown on top of it, providing shaping and strength. As the skin is soft and can heal…

We find inspiration where we can. In this case, it came from bugs. Drones, rovers, and legged robots perform many tasks, from autonomously monitoring crops in greenhouses to last-kilometer delivery. These applications need robots to operate…

Researchers at the University of Central Florida developed a device for artificial intelligence that mimics the eye's retina, which could lead to advanced AI that instantly recognizes what it sees. The development could lead to advanced…

Researchers at the NYU Abu Dhabi (NYUAD) Smart Materials Lab published in the journal Nature Communications that organic crystals can serve as efficient and sustainable energy conversion materials for advanced technologies such as robotics…

Smark and affordable robot manufacturer Ally Robotics launched a new campaign to raise up to $8.5 million in seed capital via equity crowdfunding site WAX. Restaurant automation leader Miso Robotics is currently backing Ally, even going so…
