Scientists have created a robot that learns lip movements by watching humans rather than following preset rules. The ...

Soft robots that run on air instead of electricity are starting to behave less like simple inflatable toys and more like autonomous creatures. Built from flexible materials and intricate channels, ...

Robots that move, sense and even coordinate with one another usually bring to mind tangled wires, circuit boards and humming motors. In a new study from the University of Oxford, all of that ...

Underwater octopuses change their body color and texture in the blink of an eye to blend perfectly into their surroundings when evading predators or capturing prey. They transform their bodies to ...

Living with robots could lead to plenty of societal improvements, but they also pose risks to how we socialize and co-exist with other human beings.

Researchers built OCTOID, a soft robot that shifts color and shape like an octopus, responding to electrical signals, blending with surroundings, and grasping objects. (Nanowerk News) Underwater ...
