Mobile robot algorithms and coordination have emerged as a central discipline in robotics research, combining computational theory, distributed algorithms, and systems engineering. These algorithms ...

Coordinating groups of underwater robots is difficult because communication below the surface is slow and unreliable. GPS ...

Northwestern University engineers have developed the first modular robots with athletic intelligence. They can be combined and recombined in the wild, recover from injury and keep moving no matter ...

Harvard researchers created an algorithm that allows a wearable robot to adapt to and assist the arm movements of stroke and Lou Gehrig’s disease patients in real-time. The researchers’ machine ...

Engineers at Northwestern University have created a new kind of robot that can adapt, recover from damage, and keep moving even after being broken apart. The machines, called “legged metamachines,” ...

The idea of a robot that does a wide range of household chores, from unloading the dryer to folding laundry to cleaning up a messy table, has long seemed like pure science fiction—perhaps most ...

Valkyrie, a humanoid robot that was previously trained to assist NASA with Mars mission preparations, will soon return to the ...
