The researchers have designed robot legs that run on fewer motors than comparable machines and could, theoretically, scale to large size. Their energy-efficient robotic model, called BirdBot ...

It’s designed to be strong and easy to build, using a minimal number of parts that are all available online, which makes ...

Scientists at Norway's University of Oslo have developed a four-legged robot that can adjust its leg length and walking gait on the fly as it encounters different surfaces, improving its energy ...

The research team, led by Robert Katzschmann from ETH Zurich’s Soft Robotics Lab and Christoph Keplinger from MPI-IS, has modelled the robotic leg on the human musculoskeletal system.

The research team's two-legged robot, an innovative bipedal design, builds on the legacy of biohybrid robots that take advantage of muscles.

AI design for a ‘walking’ robot is a squishy purple glob During testing, the creation could walk half its body length per second—roughly half as fast as the average human stride. Andrew Paul ...

After honing this design—which the team has made open-source online—the krill leg mechanisms eventually could find their way onto underwater robots for all sorts of uses, including exploration ...

Robotic prosthetics for patients with leg amputations, smart glasses for patients with vision loss and brain-machine interfaces are all examples.

Yet, here is Kriegman wielding a puny laptop by comparison, typing in the words "Design a Robot that can walk" that results in a blueprint for a functioning prototype in a bewildering 26 seconds.
