Researchers from the University of Leeds have developed an AI system that enables a four-legged robot to adapt its walking style and mimic the movements of a real animal in unfamiliar terrain. With ...

Ground Control Robotics (GCR) Inc., a startup company seeking to commercialize a centipede-like robot developed at Georgia Institute of Technology, may be on the verge of acquiring its first customers ...

A pet dog sits on command, but nobody expects an insect to follow human instructions. So it may come as a surprise to learn that researchers recently succeeded in controlling cockroaches with tiny ...

Researchers have developed an Artificial Intelligence (AI) system that enables a four-legged robot to adapt its gait to different, unfamiliar terrain, just like a real animal, in what is believed to ...

Nature has spent millions of years perfecting movement, efficiency, and survival. Engineers are now borrowing those evolutionary lessons to build robots capable of tackling some of humanity’s toughest ...

A four-legged robot trained with machine learning has learned to avoid falls by spontaneously switching between walking, trotting, and pronking -- a milestone for roboticists as well as biologists ...

BOSTON -- It's never been clear whether robotics company Boston Dynamics is making killing machines, household helpers or something else entirely. For nine years, the secretive firm -- which got its ...

Robot Dreams and Flow are both silent movies, with a lot of emphasis on the characters’ physicality and how they express themselves without words. Survival adventure Flow is very grounded in how real ...

With the help of a form of machine learning called deep reinforcement learning (DRL), the EPFL robot notably learned to transition from trotting to pronking – a leaping, arch-backed gait used by ...
