While advances in machine learning may make the robot apocalypse seem imminent, we can at least rest easy knowing that these robots are still too clunky and too slow to really chase us down. But, that ...

Most robots use electric actuators, but this little fella packs a lot more punch. Researchers have created a new type of minuscule combustion engine that gives this tiny frog robot explosive leaping ...

Tiny combustion-powered microactuators propelled an insect-sized microbot capable of crawling and jumping, according to a new study. “The high frequencies, speeds, and strengths allow [the] actuators ...

[Aaed Musa] has built a variety of robots over the years, but found off-the-shelf servos to be underwhelming for his work. Thus, he set out to build a better actuator to support his goals of building ...

The robotics actuators market is on the cusp of substantial growth as advancements in technology and innovation continue to shape the future of automation and robotics. By 2034, this industry is ...

Most animals can quickly transition from walking to jumping to crawling to swimming if needed without reconfiguring or making major adjustments. Most robots cannot. But researchers have now created ...

When you think about robots, you probably envision rigid, metallic, humanoid figures repeating things like “Danger, Will Robinson!” or “Resistance is futile” in computer-like voices. In truth, recent ...
