Insect-scale legged robots have become increasingly capable in recent years but are still severely limited in terms of onboard resources for computation and power. On the other hand, simple models for ...

Researchers at the University of Michigan’s Robotics Department and the Southern University of Science and Technology in China published a research paper discussing the use of discrete-time hybrid ...

Most existing robots designed to move on the ground rely on either wheels or legs, as opposed to a combination of the two. Yet robots that can seamlessly switch between wheeled and legged locomotion ...

Kawasaki’s decision to commercialize its four-legged robot horse marks a rare moment when a far-off concept vaults almost directly into the real world. What began as a futuristic hydrogen-powered ...

Have you ever wondered what would happen if you combined a dog and a car? Well, you might get something like W1, a wheeled quadruped robot that can switch between walking and rolling modes depending ...

The robot's quadruped locomotion helps it look for hazards in cramped and cluttered experiment spaces inaccessible to other robots. By Mack DeGeurin Published Feb 8, 2024 3:00 PM EST Get the Popular ...

Adding legs to robots that have minimal awareness of the environment around them can help the robots operate more effectively in difficult terrain, my colleagues and I found. We were inspired by ...

The physics of walking for multi-legged animals and robots is simpler than previously thought. That is the finding described by a team of roboticists, physicists and biologists in the Sept. 5 issue of ...

In Professor Ioannis Poulakakis’ lab at the University of Delaware, a human-sized robot is almost ready to play its role in engineering a better future. The robot, which walks on two legs and looks ...

HULUNBUIR, CHINA / ACCESS Newswire / January 17, 2026 / Recently, in Yakeshi, Hulunbuir, Inner Mongolia-known as the "City of ...

Perhaps it’s only a matter of time until the robots catch up with us and take over the planet. Case in point: a four-legged robodog learning how to walk on its two hind legs. Researchers from ...
