Hanyang University engineers have cracked the stiffness–flexibility trade-off in soft robotics, creating a polymer jumper that can leap 25 times its length and switch seamlessly between vertical and ...

Spherical robots comprise a class of mobile systems characterised by a fully enclosed spherical shell that integrates internal actuation mechanisms. Their dynamics are defined by complex nonholonomic ...

Based on a study of both hatchling sea turtles and "FlipperBot" -- a robot with flippers -- researchers have learned principles for how both robots and turtles move on granular surfaces such as sand.

Through hands-on experiments, programming design and development, students will learn the basics of robot motion, sensors, and control. Students will have a chance to play with several robot platforms ...

Dr. Lydia E. Kavraki’s list of accomplishments, accolades, and titles is almost too much to process—the computer scientist is currently the Noah Harding Professor of Computer Science and ...

Athletes jumping off a diving board. A duck circling a pond. Planets rotating in space. What do all these things have in common? They—or at least, their robotic representations—are products of a ...
