Scientists demonstrated a contactless way to move and rotate conductive objects that could someday help robots safely handle ...

Space changes the rules for almost everything, including how a robot should move. On Earth, legs help us stand, balance and walk across a room. In microgravity, those same legs lose much of their ...

To keep a repair robot stable while fixing satellites in space, University of Cincinnati engineers took a page from experts in balance: bull riders. UC College of Engineering and Applied Science ...

Orbit Robotics, an academic spinout from ETH Zurich, built Helios around a single premise: don't design for a gravity environment if you're going to work in microgravity. The result is a four-armed ...

Helios is a new four-armed robot from Zurich-based Orbit Robotics, and at first glance, it reminded me of Goro from Mortal Kombat. But unlike the prince from Outworld, Helios is not built for combat.
