New research helps robots combine language and gestures to find objects in cluttered spaces, improving how they understand ...

In one part of a laboratory in Bristol, UK, scientists are designing a nanoparticle swarm that will be able to target and kill tumour cells intelligently. Interactions between the tiny but simple ...

Science X is a network of high quality websites with most complete and comprehensive daily coverage of the full sweep of science, technology, and medicine news ...

Just like bees, the individual robots in this simulation have no master plan. Simply by responding to local cues, they are able to construct honeycomb-like structures. The method could presage a new ...

Microrobots have long promised precision drug delivery inside the human body, but making them practical has remained difficult. Many designs are complex, expensive to manufacture, or hard to control ...

(a) A robot whose kinematic and morphology model is unknown. (b) Taking photos of the robot under different joint configurations from different view directions. (c) Representing each part of the robot ...

Engineers at the University of Oxford have developed a remarkably simple and inexpensive way to build soft robots. Using common laboratory tools and low-cost materials, the new method allows ...
