Horizon: Zero Dawn and Horizon: Forbidden West: both really great games, no? In entirely unrelated news, we were fascinated to read a recent paper published in the Proceedings of the National Academy ...

Bioinspired underwater robots that swim by undulating their bodies may be more energy-efficient than their rigid counterparts, but they're also quite difficult to build. That could soon change however ...

MIT engineers have designed a walking lunar robot cleverly inspired by the animal kingdom. The “mix-and-match” system is made of worm-like robotic limbs astronauts could configure into various ...

Here’s an interesting comment from MIT’s Alfonso Parra Rubio, “Treating soft versus hard robotics is a false dichotomy.” For, I suppose, obvious reasons, thinking around technology tends to be a ...

Researchers at Northwestern University have developed 'metamachines'—modular robots whose independent leg-like units allow them to keep moving even after losing large sections. Inspired by animal ...
