Humanoid robots have been promised for decades, but most still look and move like machines. Ameca changes that, with a face and body language so nuanced that people instinctively treat it less like a ...

Computer scientists have invented a camera mechanism that improves how robots see and react to the world around them. Inspired by how the human eye works, their innovative camera system mimics the ...

Analog cameras are nowhere near as efficient as biological eyes. If you’ve ever handled a single-lens reflex (SLR) camera, especially if it had a zoom lens attached, you know how heavy they are, and ...

Step inside the Soft Robotics Lab at ETH Zurich, and you find yourself in a space that is part children's nursery, part ...

Fabrication of nanoscale light-sensitive materials, known as quantum dots, created a device that reacts to light faster than the human eye. It could revolutionize autonomous vehicles. WASHINGTON, July ...

Computer scientists at the University of Maryland have unveiled a new camera inspired by the mechanics of the human eye. It is designed to enhance how robots perceive and respond to their surroundings ...

On Wednesday, Clone Robotics released video footage of its Protoclone humanoid robot, a full-body machine that uses synthetic muscles to create unsettlingly human-like movements. In the video, the ...

Here at New Atlas, we like to keep tabs on developments in the world of robotics – just so we're aware of how soon Terminator-style machines will assemble and march against the human race. As it turns ...

A project at the University of Maryland (UMD) has taken inspiration from the natural world for a camera that could improve robot vision. Bioinspired vision systems have already taken many forms, ...
