I am not going lie. I just can’t wrap my head around the science behind how IHMC made Boston Dynamics’ Atlas and NASA Valkyrie robots navigate over a rough terrain. The development was, btw, a response to DARPA Robotics Challenge that calls for improvements in robotics technology for disaster relief operations. DARPA Robotics Challenge was […]

Scientists Developed Insect-sized Robot Powered By Solar
Once upon a time, Harvard University wowed the world with a micro autonomous flying robot called RoboBee. Then, USC School of Engineering one up it with a 4-winged robotic insect called Bee+ and now, Harvard Microrobotics Laboratory came back at Bee+ with its under-a-gram 4-winged robotic flying insect that can fly tether-free – thanks to […]
Toyota AI Basketball Robot Set World Record For Consecutive Free Throws
These days, anything can be logged as a world record, including basketball free-throwing by an AI basketball robot. Before we get to the story, pro basketball players can rest easy because, Toyota CUE3 AI basketball robot only knows how to aim at the hoop. It is not about to takeover the sport, yet. Though so, […]
Scientists Developed Robotic Fish That Is Powered By Synthetic Blood
It looks like the future of robots is headed towards the ‘organic’ route. In a new research published in Nature by scientists from Cornell University and the University of Pennsylvania, it details the development of a soft robotic fish, a lion fish of sort, that is powered by what could only be describe as “artificial […]
Ultra-realistic Humanoid AI Robot Artist Held Its First Solo Exhibition
If you think the headline sounds absurd, wait till you learn that this artificially-intelligent art-making robot, named Ai-Da, has, as of June 7, made over $1.2 million in sales of art. Believe it. This is not quite a dystopia future now like the teaser video’s overall ambience may have implied, though. It just makes us […]
Youbionic Drone For Handy Actually Has Functional Bionic Hands
People can be rather unimaginative sometimes. All we think we can use a drone for are delivery and imaging-related operations. Nobody actually look at a quadcopter or multicopter and go like, “you know what? I think it should be able to pick up things.” Well, nobody except for Japanese drone maker, ProDrone, who’s PD6B-AW-ARM actually […]
Watch Amazon’s New Pegasus Drive Robots Sort Out Packages
You have been awed by the sight of Chinese company STO Express Xuzhou’s robots sorting out packages and also saw Amazon’s army of warehouse robots. Now meet the latter’s latest robots, Pegasus drive, at its sortation center in Denver, Colorado. These 2 feet high and 3 feet wide (61 x 91 centimeters) orange robots roll […]
Researchers Taught Bipedal Robot To Travel On Hovershoes
If history has taught us anything about locomotive is that bipedal is the most versatile form of locomotive for going places. With this in mind, it is only logical that mankind would develop robots that mimic our legs so it (a robot) could go where humans go. However, it is not without its caveat. Like […]
Solarino Is A Remote Control Roomba For Picking Up Trash On The Beach
The #TrashTag challenge saw many people rolling up their sleeves to pick up trash. We learned from this viral challenge that the beach side is possibly one of the most littered places on Earth and we also learned that picking up trash from sandy beach is a very laborious task. This is exactly why Dronyx […]
Ford Thinks The Future Of Delivery Is Self-Driving Vehicle And Biped Robot
Ford has a vision for commercial package delivery and it is by the way of these: self-driving vehicle and a biped robot called Digit. Now, we shall dispense with the self-driving vehicle part because, it is not really groundbreaking (even though it has yet to be a norm). The America automaker has partnered with Agility […]
