Scientists created robots controlled by signals come from mycelia - the branching underground networks that support mushrooms ...

Could robots replace real Wyoming cowboys? Researchers are building cattle-herding and other ag industry robots that could ...

Advanced sensor suite: Includes 10 different sensors, for things such as rotation, acceleration, sensing and responding to ambient light, sending and receiving infrared signals. Robot-to-robot ...

Inspired by animal locomotion, researchers developed a framework enabling robots to traverse complex, high-risk terrains without extra-perceptive sensors or rough terrain training.

Researchers at Virginia Tech are developing a way to use computer algorithms and sensors to help robot animals move more naturally like their real-life counterparts. Kaveh Hamed and his colleagues ...

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 ...

A robot able to “smell” using a biological sensor The researchers say that the biological sensor sensitivity to smell is 10,000 times higher than that of existing electronic devices.

SPCA educators show students video footage of real animals and talk about why and how these animals are special, drawing comparisons between the sensor packages in the robots and the nature-made ...

Robots Manipulating Animal BehaviorA 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 ...

The team is working on artificial “flow sensors” that can be added to robots, creating bendable systems that vibrate in the wind. Receptors at the base of the whisker can then be read and ...

Humans have worked alongside animals for centuries. So why are we so obsessed with comparing robots to ourselves?

Virginia Tech researchers think they can do better. They're developing a combination of algorithms and sensors that help robots move with gaits more like those of real animals.
