Automated Cyborg Cockroach Factory Could Churn Out a Bug a Minute for Search and Rescue
December 5, 2024 by Edd Gent
Envisioning armies of electronically controllable insects is probably nightmare fuel for most people. But scientists think they could help rescue workers scour challenging and hazardous terrain. An automated cyborg cockroach factory could help bring the idea to life. The merger of living creatures with machines is a staple of science fiction, but it’s also a […]
MIT’s New Robot Dog Learned to Walk and Climb in a Simulation Whipped Up by Generative AI
November 15, 2024 by Edd Gent
A big challenge when training AI models to control robots is gathering enough realistic data. Now, researchers at MIT have shown they can train a robot dog using 100 percent synthetic data. Traditionally, robots have been hand-coded to perform particular tasks, but this approach results in brittle systems that struggle to cope with the uncertainty […]

If you’re intrigued by the concept but not sure whether you’re ready to jump on the bandwagon, you’ll soon be […]
This Biohybrid Robot Is Made of Human Cells and Controlled by a Machine ‘Mind’
September 30, 2024 by Shelly Fan
In a tiny laboratory pond, a robotic stingray flaps its fins and swims around. Roughly the width of a dime, the bot dashes distances multiple times its body size. It easily navigates around corners and swims far longer than previous flapping microbots of a similar design. Its secret? The robot is a biohybrid blend of […]
