Researchers from the University of Leeds have developed an AI system that enables a four-legged robot to adapt its walking style and mimic the movements of a real animal in unfamiliar terrain. With ...

In two new developments, scientists created a jumping robot inspired by an African primate and found flaws in flying robot designs by studying a bird’s flight. The history of robotics is littered with ...

Robotics engineers have worked for decades and invested many millions of research dollars in attempts to create a robot that can walk or run as well as an animal. And yet, it remains the case that ...

Researchers have developed an artificial intelligence (AI) system that enables a four-legged robot to adapt its gait to different, unfamiliar terrain, just like a real animal, in what is believed to ...
