Flying Autonomous Robotic Bird
This year in International Conference on Intelligent Robots in Portugal, developers met a new flying robot, thanks to Cornell University. This device is like a bird which tries to fly without striking any obstacles. Lots of Robots have been developed with GPS, but the research team has a different target. They are trying to make an […]

Energy Conserving Hopping Robots
Jumping can be more complicated than it seems according to new research. In this research, it has been found that hopping robots can reduce the energy spent during motion. On October 26, a research has been published in the journal Physical Review Letters. The work was supported by the Army Research Laboratory’s MAST program, the […]
Robots of the future in research
National Science Foundation donated a five year grant to Tufts University in order to enable scientists and engineers to build flexible robots. The researchers from the Schools of Arts and Sciences and Engineering were inspired by creatures that has flexible structure. Then, they started to work on developing soft-bodied robots. Actually, they must have some […]
Help IURO Robot To Find Its Way
IURO is a humanoid robot that can find his way though cities with your help. At the IROS expo this year, one of the most glamorous robots, with his giant and highly expensive head, was IURO(Interactive Urban Robot). IURO can recognize humans and ask them for directions to help itself. IURO is founded by Accrea Engineering […]
