Researchers develop an ingestible origami robot that has demonstrated the ability to unfold and retrieve a button battery from a simulated stomach. Michelle Starr is CNET's science editor, and she ...

We can now tell our iCub robot to stop bugging us and go outside to play. That’s because instead of needing a long extension cord for power, the iCub robot now has a battery backpack – tested and ...

Researchers at Cornell University on Monday showcased a pair of bio-inspired robotics running on a hydraulic fluid-powered battery. The redox flow battery (RFB) also mimics biological functions, as it ...

Every robot has its limit. For the famous Roomba vacuum, it's two to three hours. For the several thousand robots deployed in Iraq, about the same. For the warehouse robots sorting our sneaker orders, ...

A team of researchers from MIT, the Tokyo Institute of Technology, and the University of Sheffield have demonstrated that their origami robot is able to unfold from a swallowed capsule, transverse a ...

The future is here—Autonomous robot and drone usage is growing quickly, especially in Industry 4.0 —the Fourth Industrial Revolution. Wireless robot or drone charging, when battery power is low, ...
