Legged robot locomotion and control encompass the integration of advanced mechanical design, sensorimotor coordination and adaptive algorithms to enable agile and efficient movement over diverse ...

Although soft-bodied robots themselves can be fairly simple, low-cost devices, they typically require complex onboard electronics to control their locomotion. Such is not the case with a new bot, ...

Researchers have demonstrated a caterpillar-like soft robot that can move forward, backward and dip under narrow spaces. The caterpillar-bot's movement is driven by a novel pattern of silver nanowires ...

A KAIST research team has developed a quadrupedal robot control system that allows machines ...

Researchers at North Carolina State University have created a soft robot that moves in a distinctly caterpillar-like manner. As detailed in the research paper in Science Advances by [Shuang Wu] and ...

A tunable initial coiling structure soft robot (ICSBot) has been developed by combining theoretical calculations, finite element analysis, and direct ink writing technology. By mimicking the ...

The U.S. Army’s xTechHumanoid competition is part of the Army’s broader xTech innovation program, which connects emerging technology developers with military challenges and accelerates promising ...

A new two-stage AI system combines physics-driven trajectory planning with adaptive reinforcement learning, enabling robots to walk smoothly, remain upright in the face of shocks, and navigate ...

(Nanowerk News) Researchers at North Carolina State University have demonstrated a caterpillar-like soft robot that can move forward, backward and dip under narrow spaces. The caterpillar-bot’s ...
