CEO He Xiaopeng said Chinese EV startup Xpeng wanted its Iron humanoid robot to be "highly human-like." ...

When robots are built with biological materials, they have the potential to achieve remarkable behaviors typically only seen ...

Imagine a rubber band that turns into a steel cable on command. Now imagine it’s inside a robot. That’s the basic trick of a ...

It has been a long endeavor to create biohybrid robots – machines powered by lab-grown muscle as potential actuators. The flexibility of biohybrid robots could allow them to squeeze and twist through ...

While biohybrid robots that crawl and swim have been built before with lab-grown muscle, this is the first such bipedal robot that can pivot and make sharp turns. It does this by applying electricity ...

A Chinese EV company has created a humanoid robot so eerily lifelike engineers were forced to cut it open to prove it was, in fact, a robot.

Researchers at the University of Tokyo have created a two-legged biohybrid robot, combining an artificial skeleton with biological muscle, which is capable of walking and pivoting underwater. Typical ...

“Research on biohybrid robots, which are a fusion of biology and mechanics, is recently attracting attention as a new field of robotics featuring biological function,” says corresponding author Shoji ...

Once again, scientists have created something to give humanoid robots skills that no human possesses without asking themselves if it is truly a good idea.

This sped-up video of the robot underwater shows the legs walking forward, with the muscle contractions being stimulated by electricity. Researchers at the University of Tokyo have created a ...

Compared to robots, human bodies are flexible, capable of fine movements, and can convert energy efficiently into movement. Drawing inspiration from human gait, researchers from Japan crafted a ...

Many of my physiologic systems replicated somebody who's 20 or 30 years older than me.” Now there may be a solution: robot ...
