It was only a matter of time before we started to think about how robots can design – other robots. In fact, I’ve been having these conversations with people ever since the arrival of ChatGPT, as we ...

Sam Kriegman, a professor at Northwestern's McCormick School of Engineering, is something of a local celebrity. He can often be found on television shows explaining the wonders of his new invention – ...

The integration of AI and robotics is changing the nature of automation, from manufacturing and aerospace to agriculture and healthcare. As labor shortages intensify, intelligent automation is ...

Humanoid robots are rapidly improving in motion fluidity, making them more human-like and suitable for complex tasks. Applications range from surgical procedures to manufacturing, with companies like ...

Joints in humanoid robots endure load combinations that require precision components. Oftentimes this means custom bearing solutions. Modern bearing selection takes into account the complete system ...

In the opening panel of this year's Robotics Summit, learn how to create robots that are reliable and ready for commercial ...

We’re at a rare inflection point. Robots are moving from research labs and factory floors into everyday life. Right now, they’re being dropped into human spaces and, often, missing the mark. Yet ...

No-code adaptive robotics is transforming manufacturing by automating tasks once considered too variable or hazardous for traditional automation. The no-code systems excel in high-mix environments ...

Researchers are blurring the lines between robotics and materials, with a proof-of-concept material-like collective of robots with behaviors inspired by biology. Researchers at UC Santa Barbara and TU ...

We need to start thinking of robots as a modern tool that we can optimally design for specific use cases rather than a panacea to solve every challenge.
