Multi-cellular animals like fruit flies, nematodes, or zebra fish serve as major tools for carrying out research on genetic factors involved in disease process, response to new drugs etc.
A research team led by George Whitesides, the Woodford L. and Ann A. Flowers University Professor, has succeeded in innovating soft, silicone-based robots that can camouflage themselves or stand out from their environment. Scientists are making efforts to make the robots capable enough to disguise themselves.
MIT, Seoul National University, and Harvard University and researchers have designed a soft, highly flexible autonomous robot that performs peristalsis movement similar to that of an earthworm.
ACS scientists have developed the first biomimetic microrobot that can leap constantly in a vertical vacillating fashion similar to a real water strider.
A newly-developed cost-effective device enables individuals affected with spinal cord injuries, Parkinson’s, amputees, multiple Sclerosis, or muscular dystrophy to interact with their computers and surroundings through their eyes.
In order to control the camera systems for better operation of robots, the muscle motion of the human eye was simulated by researchers using piezoelectric materials. The muscle replicating action will enable creating safe and highly efficient robotic tools for robotic rehabilitation and MRI-guided surgery.
The US research team has developed a robotic set of legs. This is the first model to have biologically precise, complete walking capability, claimed the researchers.
By swinging their large tails one way, lizards turn around their body the other way. The momentum and the related movement of lizards have been reported in a recent study that was presented on 29th June during at the Society for Experimental Biology meeting in Salzburg, Austria. 'RightingBot', a lizard-inspired robot replicates this approach.
After the conclusion of a merger announcement with Dr. Vibot, Evader declared the new "smart search" functionality for its robotics product lines.
Experts at Georgia Tech’s Center for Music Technology have developed a musical robot, Shimi. Based on listener feedback, Shimi can suggest songs and also dances in sync with the beat. Measuring just 1 ft in length, this smartphone-enabled, entertainment robot is designated as an interactive ‘musical buddy.’
