A group of Chinese researchers has created a robot with a brain made of human stem cells. The technology is technically a "brain-on-a-chip," and the researchers have been working to train the robot to ...

Scientists have built microscopic, light-powered robots that can think, swim, and operate independently at the scale of ...

In a tiny laboratory pond, a robotic stingray flaps its fins and swims around. Roughly the width of a dime, the bot dashes distances multiple times its body size. It easily navigates around corners ...

It’s a bizarre sight: With a short burst of light, a sponge-shaped robot scoots across a tiled surface. Flipped on its back, it repeatedly twitches as if doing sit-ups. By tinkering with the light’s ...

Robots the size of a single-celled organism can now sense their environment, make decisions, and act on them without any outside help. Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania and University of ...

In a new study, researchers from the University of Tokyo, Harvard University, and the International Research Center for Neurointelligence have unveiled a technique for creating lifelike robotic skin ...

A group of scientists have wired a robot with human stem cells and attached a brain-computer interface, enabling the robot to complete tasks assigned to it. Human brains, much like computers, run on ...

Robotics is entering a new phase where general-purpose learning matters as much as mechanical design. Instead of programming ...

Mitochondrial dysfunction is associated with various chronic diseases and cancers, including neurodegenerative diseases and ...

An automated cell culture system reduces hands-on time and improves seeding consistency in 96-well microplates. The research ...
