Motors are not overly complex, but this one is downright simple. Carl Bujega has been working on a motor design that heavily relies on the capabilities of the printed circuit board (PCB) fabrication ...

Researchers at Harvard University have just created the first autonomous, entirely soft robot: the "octobot." Developed through a combination of 3-D printing, molding, and soft lithography, the ...

Controlling sensori-motor systems in higher animals or complex robots is a challenging combinatorial problem, because many sensory signals need to be simultaneously coordinated into a broad ...
