Chinese four-legged robot sparks speculation that its makers stole US tech
Chinese company Unitree Robotics developed a four-legged robot that looked like the robotic dog that engineering company Boston Dynamics debuted in 2015. Unitree introduced its machine at the 2020 Consumer Electronics Show held in Las Vegas in January last year. Called “Aliengo,” the Chinese robot is controlled by artificial intelligence (AI) and has advanced depth perception. It is extremely durable and can travel 10 feet per second, […]

CYBORG: Researchers create the first self-healing robots from living frog tissues
Researchers created the first living, self-healing robots using stem cells from frogs. Named “xenobots” after the African clawed frog (Xenopus laevis) from which the stem cells were taken, the machines look like tiny blobs of wiggling pink flesh. “These are novel living machines,” said Joshua Bongard, a professor of computer science at the University of Vermont (UVM) […]

Engineers develop an “octocopter” carpenter drone capable of attaching shingles to a roof using an equipped nail gun
Engineers from the University of Michigan (UMich) have developed a robot carpenter that can autonomously attach roof shingles using an onboard nail gun. The roofing device is an octocopter drone prefigured to make its own calculations on the force required to bury a nail. A human operator just needs to turn a virtual switch to start the roofing. […]

Fast, quiet, invisible: Scientists develop squid robots with potential military, scientific applications
Scientists have designed a squid-like robot with potential scientific and military applications, thanks to its high-speed, quiet propulsion techniques. Physicists from the University of California, San Diego based the design on the unique and efficient swimming strategy of squids and other cephalopods. It’s made of smart materials that make them difficult to detect, which is why it’s an ideal weapon for […]
