The latest force torque sensors provide the levels of sensitivity and reliability needed for industrial cobot applications.

A tiny robot so small it can barely be seen can still "sense, think, and act" autonomously, according to the engineers who built it. To the team's best knowledge, this joint invention is the world's ...

Cornell researchers in physics and engineering have created the smallest walking robot yet, and its tiny size is only a side-effect. Controlled by magnets and small enough to diffract visible light, ...

No, not the scary Terminator-like ones beloved of science fiction writers … We're talking about the cute, helpful ones ...

Small delivery robots that use pedestrian areas are spreading on college campuses, with Serve Robotics introducing the latest models with improved sensor and computing power. The industry is now ...

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 understand.

What's 3.6 cm tall (1.4 in), and could one day be performing tasks such as walking through disaster site rubble looking for trapped survivors? It's Zippy, which is reportedly the smallest ...

Researchers in California have created an incredibly small robot that needs no battery or wired power supply to zip through the air. Instead, it uses magnets to fly. A magnetic field produced by an ...

Fixing underground water pipes usually means digging up roads and sidewalks — a process that's disruptive and expensive. However, researchers at the University of Sheffield in the U.K. are working on ...

Scientists at the Chinese Academy of Sciences have engineered a breakthrough in robotic vision.
