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.

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Boasting a sophisticated design tailored for versatile mobility, Cassie demonstrates remarkable agility as it effortlessly navigates quarter-mile runs and performs impressive long jumps without ...

[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 ...

Following a two-part blog series in partnership with Crytek, where the studio shared some of its research into VR locomotion comfort, Oculus has now added eight new experimental locomotion methods to ...

The small soft robot developed by the City University of Hong Kong can traverse the rough geography of the human digestive system to deliver time released and location-specific medication. Efficient ...
