The headline act is Narwal Flow, a low-profile, all-in-one robot that pairs powerful suction with a track-based mopping ...

The iRobot Braava is a mopping robot that uses simple design principles to make it affordable and effective. We teardown the robot to learn its design and manufacturing secrets.

It’s a tool from MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) that aims to let people design, simulate, and then build simple robots with a “3D print, then fold ...

Robots are super interesting, but you probably shouldn’t start learning about them with a full-sized industrial SCARA arm or anything. Better to learn with something smaller and simpler to un… ...

But these robots are really complicated — and two-legged walking is hard to master. So is it better to have a simple robot or a complex one?

If we let robots design themselves in simulations, they can come up with totally novel forms and materials—and some can reproduce to form lightly mutated offspring.

Researchers took inspiration from ants to design a team of relatively simple robots that can work collectively to perform complex tasks using only a few basic parameters.

Since the 1980s, the design and synthesis of molecular machines has been identified as a grand challenge for molecular engineering. Robots are an important type of molecular machine that automatically ...

At less than a quarter inch across, the magnetically activated robot can manipulate water flow to manipulate objects.

The process is slow, but it allows for a very simple robot design that utilizes very little chemical energy. Futuristic Applications "We don't develop DNA robots for any specific applications.
