An international group of roboticists, including three from MIT, debated the best way to approach robotic manipulation moving forward.

Kavraki also helped write the book on the subject—literally: Her Principles of Robot Motion is the preeminent text on the subject.

“RoboBallet transforms industrial robotics into a choreographed dance, where each arm moves with precision, purpose, and awareness of its teammates,” said Matthew Lai, a researcher at UCL Computer ...

Uwe Mettin’s thesis provides generic principles for the challenging motion planning and control problem of so-called underactuated mechanical systems.

Hanyang University engineers have cracked the stiffness–flexibility trade-off in soft robotics, creating a polymer jumper that can leap 25 times its length and switch seamlessly between vertical and ...

Spherical Robot Dynamics And Motion Planning Publication Trend The graph below shows the total number of publications each year in Spherical Robot Dynamics And Motion Planning.

Air-driven autonomy The driving force behind this new class of soft robots lies in a surprisingly familiar principle: the same physics that animates inflatable tube dancers.

He also mentioned that this principle could have applications in many other complex fluids, beyond liquid crystals. Professor Jeong added: "This discovery highlights the significance of ...

CU Boulder researchers are using simple "paper" robots to teach kids basic engineering principles and inspire creativity. Watch the video.
