RoboGrammar is a new system that automates and optimizes robot design. The system creates arthropod-inspired robots for traversing a variety of terrains. It could spawn more inventive robot forms with ...

Computer-aided design (CAD) systems are tried-and-true tools used to design many of the physical objects we use each day. But ...

A novel MIT-developed system makes it possible to design robot shapes and determine its optimal ability to traverse a particular terrain. The simulation-based system is called RoboGrammar and is a ...

The newest frontier in robotics is almost invisible to the naked eye. Researchers have built a robot smaller than a grain of ...

The future is now…and it’s tiny. In A Nutshell Researchers built autonomous robots just 210-340 micrometers wide—roughly the ...

Professor Boyuan Chen poses with some of his 3D printed robots that were designed and built through his new platform called Text2Robot that allows people to simply tell a computer what kind of robot ...

Few TikTok users will have escaped the idiosyncratic videos of @robotsdraw on their For You feeds in recent weeks. The account, in which a robotic arm draws with amazing accuracy on a piece of paper ...

There is no avoiding robots. With increasing autonomy, satellites span the skies; vacuums vroom underfoot; and bots conduct surgery, deliver packages and explore the solar system. Robot expert Sooyeon ...

Researchers at MIT have developed a way for a computer to essentially design its own robotic body, based on the available parts and the local terrain. Dubbed RoboGrammar, the system knows what ...

A team led by Northwestern Engineering researchers has developed the first artificial intelligence (AI) to date that can intelligently design robots from scratch. To test the new AI, the researchers ...

So, you need a robot that climbs stairs. What shape should that robot be? Should it have two legs, like a person? Or six, like an ant? Choosing the right shape will be vital for your robot's ability ...
