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, ...

Researchers show how their multilegged walking robot can be steered by inducing a dynamic instability. By making the couplings between segments more flexible, the robot changes from walking straight ...

When a robotics pioneer who has spent decades building humanoid machines recommends that you stand at least nine feet away from any full-size walking robot, you should probably listen. “My advice to ...
