PASADENA, Calif. (KABC) -- Some of the brightest young minds at the California Institute of Technology took part Thursday in one of the most stressful classroom assignments they've ever had.

PASADENA, Calif. (KABC) -- Now the robots are even taking over soccer. At Caltech, students fielded teams of soccer-playing robots Tuesday in the Tridroid Cup, a tournament designed to test ...

In research centers around the world, roboticists have for decades been on a quest to perfect bipedal locomotion in machines. They’re making progress, but for all the flashy shots of back-flipping, ...

Most robots have one means of locomotion—they might roll, fly, walk, or even swim. Rarely do they do more than one, though. Engineers at Caltech's Center for Autonomous Systems and Technologies (CAST) ...

Imagine a robot that can transform between "flying drone" and "wheeled rover" configurations. It could potentially be quite useful, but only if it works in real-world conditions. The ATMO bot was ...

Before the year 2020, scientists are expected to launch intelligent space robots that will venture out to explore the universe for us. Researchers are working on creating autonomous spacecrafts that ...

Leonardo, a newly-developed robot with the ability to fly and walk, is tested at Caltech. Researchers believe the machine could someday be used to traverse difficult landscapes on earth or other on ...
