Locomotive magnetic soft robots are categorized based on their structural characteristics into one-dimensional (1D), two-dimensional (2D), three-dimensional (3D), and fluidic types. Recently, Dr.

Valkyrie, a humanoid robot that was previously trained to assist NASA with Mars mission preparations, will soon return to the ...

Blacksburg, Va. -- Creating a robotic locomotion mechanism based on the motion of single-cell organisms is the goal of Virginia Tech College of Engineering researcher Dennis Hong, who has received a ...

(Nanowerk News) Researchers at North Carolina State University have demonstrated a caterpillar-like soft robot that can move forward, backward and dip under narrow spaces. The caterpillar-bot’s ...

Dennis Hong is designing his Whole Skin Locomotion (WSL) mechanism to work on much the same principle as the pseudopod -- or cytoplasmic "foot" -- of the amoeba. Preliminary experiments show that a ...

Bipedal robots have proved a challenging frontier for roboticists, with styles ranging from clunkers to lurchers to those seemingly falling over drunk. However, the AMBER lab at Texas A&M University ...

[James Bruton] is on a quest to explore all the weird and wonderful methods of robot locomotion, and in his latest project created an omnidirectional walker that can move in any direction ...

While robots still struggle to do basic things like hang out with us or bring us cookies, it's comforting to know that the variety of locomotion methods for this burgeoning race shows no sign of ...
